The latest business to put their name to the 'Brawl On The Wall are - Craftsman Cleaners, who are established on the Stranmillis Road, Belfast since 1977.
The proprietor is Gerry Dougal who has worked at the specialist cleaners since man and boy. Mr Dougal left school in 1977 and immediately started working at the dry cleaners. He worked his way up to actually becoming sole owner of the well established and renowned specialist. The business caters for most of the top hotels in the country such as the Hilton in Belfast and Templepatrick, Jury's Inn and the Wellington Park hotel also leading fashion and Bridal shops including Carter and Hugo Thomas to name a few. They specialise in a service second to none by offering the same day turnaround for any client big or small.

The Dougal family joined the gym in 2006 with son Ryan and daughter Niamh. 16 year old Ryan has already elevated to Green belt and is hoping to someday compete in the ring and currently helps out with the Saturday morning Kids class and has shown a great interest in the teaching side. Bringing up the rear is 'little sis' Niamh aged ten who is yellow belt and this weekend will hopefully graduate to the next level in kickboxing, Orange belt.
Prokick founder Billy Murray praised the young pair and especially Mr Dougal for their support "I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Mr Dougal for his backing of the Brawl on the Wall event. I know the event is in Derry City and a fair bit away from his business in Belfast. But we'll do everything we can at the gym to try and direct as much custom to his business as possible.

"It is extremely difficult to obtain sponsorship for sport even more so for a contact sport like ours, therefore any support that we receive is truly appreciated."

Murray went on to say "Young Ryan has shown great ability and is keen to learn the sport of Kickboxing, I just hope he continues. He could be a force to be reckoned with, not just competitively but also as a coach. His sister Niamh, I think could outshine him she's got the 3 D's - Determination, Dedication and Desire and I believe she could succeed at anything she puts her mind to. Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Dougal."
