A special shield has also been minted with space for 52 names. The person with the most names on the shield will be presented with the Cup to keep for good, with their achievements immortalised in the shield which will go on display in the gym.
“I was presented with the cup by Mr McCartney, the Principal at Brooklands Primary School in Dundonald after a unique event at the school when I took 200 of the pupils through a specially tailored training class,” Murray explained. “I felt there was no better way to keep that cup than as a celebration of the achievements of kids than to inaugurate a year-long competition. “Each week we take good attitude, improvement in technique, respect to others and attendance into consideration when choosing the winner. It’s proved a hit with the young ProKickers who are all very keen to get their hands on it. All the winners have set quite a standard for the last remaining five to follow!”
This weeks winner is orange belt Courtney Burford. Last week her 6 year-old brother Joshua was the winner – it’s certainly been a family affair for the kickboxing mad Burford’s household, now daddy Burford wants to get his hands on the cup.
