Celts in Norway - Today

TODAY March 3rd Injuries slash Celts chances of another victory - Nine Celtic warriors are preparing for an assault against the Viking’s in Norway. Belfast’s Steelheel fighter John Miskelly was the first to drop out with a back injury not related to training. Next to have the plug pulled was Prokick’s Gary Jess. The Saintfield man sustained a hand injury in work, whilst brother, Stuart Jess the current British champion is also on the sideline with a rib injury after a tough weeks sparring with Alexander White and Gary Hamilton.
None are serious injuries but enough to stop them all from peaking on the final weeks training. The Norwegian team are now three nil up before a punch or kick is thrown.
