The 35-year-old has only been offered a one-year extension by Arsenal, who he joined on a free transfer last season.campbell has been told by Lennon that he can fly on holiday with wife-to-be Fiona straight after their mid-July wedding, meaning he would also be absent for most of Celtics four-game pre-season tour of North America.Celtic are due to report back for pre-season training on 1 July, and are likely to head out to America on the 12th.They face a Champions League third-round first-leg qualifying tie on 28-29 July with the return on 4-5 August."Im getting married on 17 July," campbell told the Scottish Sun, "but Neils told me hes quite flexible, that if I need 10 days-two weeks honeymoon then hell be fine with that. That really makes me happy because if Im not happy, and my familys not happy, then youre not going to play your best football are you?"If I were to sign for Celtic then Im likely miss the first leg of the European tie. I dont know who Celtic will get, but hopefully it would be someone that would give them a good chance of progressing."Its a difficult one, but I cant move my wedding.

Sol campbell keen to stay at Arsenal despite interest from Celtic
Veteran defender could be lured to Parkhead if discussions over new Arsenal deal break downSol campbell is keen to remain at Arsenal, but admits approaches by "massive club" Celtic are flattering.The 35-year-old, who was a member of Arsenals Invincibles team of 2003-2004, impressed after his return on a short-term deal during January. A new contract is on offer for the veteran, but has not yet been formally agreed.campbell hopes to be part of Arsene Wengers squad again next season, which may be without Cesc Fabregas, who appears set on a move to Barcelona. However, a switch to Parkhead would appeal should things not work out with the Gunners."I worked very hard to get back to my best and to play in the Champions League again, and I would love the opportunity to continue at Arsenal," campbell said."Although a one-year contract has been offered, these things take time to thrash out - and I imagine Arsene has quite a lot to deal with at the moment, particularly with Fabregas."I am in no rush, I would like to stay with Arsenal if I could.

Arsenal set for Sol campbell talks, says Arsene Wenger
Wenger will have 30m to spend in summer transfer market On and off the pitch [campbell] is a big influenceArsene Wenger has confirmed he plans to use the 30m available to him for transfers this summer, and also intends to hold talks with Sol campbell over extending his Arsenal career.With William Gallas out of contract and Johan Djourou recovering from serious knee surgery, reinforcing the Arsenal defence is a priority.Wenger said: "We are in need there. We are trying to re-sign Gallas but he is legally free to sign where he wants so I dont know where he will go. I will have to sit down with Sol because if he is on board, if he is focused and motivated, he is an important player here."Wenger believes campbells performance in the defeat against Spurs epitomised what he can bring to the side. "He was ready to die to win that match, which is what you need.

Wenger: Sol shows value of experience
campbell was spot-on against Manchester City Transfer policy is open to changeArsene Wenger says he has been so impressed by Sol campbells impact at Arsenal since the centre-backs return to the club in January that he may adjust his transfer policy this summer to bring in more players of a similar vintage.Wenger has a policy of offloading, rather than recruiting, players beyond their 20s but the influence of the 36-year-old campbell on and off the pitch has convinced the manager that his team "definitely" would have benefited from having even more experience in its ranks this season."On the pitch and in the dressing room he has been fantastic," Wenger said. "He had another spot-on performance [against Manchester City]. Everyone was surprised when I signed him but he has done a very good job for me. He has been outstanding since he has been in the team. I never expected that from him."With Arsenal having failed to reach agreement on a new contract with another senior centre-back, William Gallas, whose deal expires in the summer, Wenger said he would like to keep campbell but does not know whether the player wants to remain. "Hes a strange guy," Wenger said. "Sometimes he is quite detached but, when he is in, he is with you 100% and thats what I like. He will decide, he needs targets. I dont know what he will do.Either way Wenger will now scour the transfer market for seasoned performers. "We have a lot of players to come back from injury but we do have needs in one or two departments," he said. "If we can find some experienced players of course we will do it."ArsenalArsene WengerSol campbell guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Blackpools DJ campbell apologises for his sending off at Wolves
DJ campbell admits letting team-mates down Striker faces three-match ban following red cardThe Blackpool striker DJ campbell has issued an apology following the dismissal at Wolves that has left him facing a three-match ban.campbell was shown a red card in the 43rd minute of Saturdays 4-0 hammering by Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, after using both hands to push the defender Richard Stearman in the face.It was an act described by the manager Ian Holloway as "unacceptable" and at a time when they were already trailing 1-0, there was no way back for Blackpool, who capitulated after the interval. For a player who had previously been booked only once this season, and whose only prior dismissal was in October 2005, his actions were surprising.Holloway claimed campbell had had his achilles scraped and been kicked "however many times" by Stearman, but ultimately he was unable to defend his nine-goal leading scorers response.campbell will now miss Monday weeks Bloomfield Road match against Chelsea, as well as trips to Blackburn and Fulham at a crucial time when the club are looking to stay out of the relegation zone.Responding on Twitter, campbell said: "Peeps sorry about yesterday Ive let my team mates & u guys down, I no I play with 2much passion but thats how I am wish I could take it bk."Holloway, who will likely sit down with campbell to discuss the matter, said: "Hes lost his cool. I cant defend him, and he didnt help his team out. Normally he helps us out brilliantly, but unfortunately he let us and himself down."Blackpool are now only four points above the bottom three in the wake of a run in which they have collected only seven points from 11 matches.Pivotal to a burst of seven points from the last four matches for Wolves has been Jamie OHara, who joined from Spurs for the remainder of the season in January."Hes made a difference, his personality, on and off the pitch. He brings something to us," said the manager Mick McCarthy. "I see him as a bit of a throwback, an old-fashioned footballer who loves playing, who just gets out and wants to train, wants to play. Hes chirpy about the place, hes always got a comment about something or other. Hes great, hes brought a lot to the club."Come the summer, it would appear both club and player would like the deal to be made permanent. Asked whether he would like the midfielder to stay, McCarthy added: "Yeah, and hes a player who wants to come as well."BlackpoolWolverhampton Wanderers guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Inquiry into suspicious betting patterns finds no evidence Bookies reported unusual number of bets on campbellNo action will be taken against Jimmy Michie or Marcus campbell after the completion of an investigation into suspicious betting patterns.The investigation was launched into the pairs meeting at Januarys World Snooker Shoot-out after an abnormally high number of bets were placed on campbell to win. He duly did so, beating his fellow Scot 32-21 in the one-frame match.Both players assured the Snooker Players Association of their innocence at the time and the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association chairman Jason Ferguson was quick to emphasise: "Weve just had reports from betting shops to say that there were some unusual betting patterns and that is as far as it goes at the moment."A WPBSA statement said: "The WPBSA, working alongside the Gambling Commission, have completed a full investigation into suspicious betting patterns on a match at the World Snooker Shoot-out between Jimmy Michie and Marcus campbell on January 28, 2011."The investigation has concluded that while there were irregular betting patterns on the match, there is currently no evidence to link the betting to either of the players involved. Therefore no regulatory action will be taken by the governing body against the players."Snooker guardian.co.uk © 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

campbell set for medical at Newcastle
Former Arsenal defender on verge of move to north east United beat Sunderland and Celtic to veteran centre halfSol campbell is due to have a medical with Newcastle this afternoon with a view to signing for the newly-promoted Premier League club tomorrow.The 35-year-old defender has been out of contract since his deal with Arsenal expired this summer and had been linked with Uniteds north-east rivals Sunderland as well as Celtic.It seems, though, that Newcastle have won the race for his services as they look to strengthen their defence ahead of their return to the top flight.The Newcastle manager, Chris Hughton, has concerns over his defence heading into the new season with the club awaiting to discover the extent of Steven Taylors shoulder injury.Taylor is set to miss the start of the campaign, which Newcastle begin away to Manchester United on 16 August, but there are fears he could be sidelined for several months, prompting Hughton to make his move for campbell.Sunderlands interest in the former England international diminished in recent weeks after they signed Titus Bramble from Wigan, while they are also expected to loan John Mensah from Lyon for another season.campbell has only recently returned from his honeymoon after being married in Northumberland earlier this month, after which he had indicated a decision on his future would be made public.The central defender made a shock return to the Premier League for a second spell with Arsenal last season, after he had signed for the then League Two side Notts County.campbell left County after just one match before rejoining the Gunners on a short-term deal.Sol campbellNewcastle United guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Hes come into the job late in the season and thats never easy. But hes done fantastically well. He told me hes looking for me to be a figurehead in the team. Hes made it clear hes looking for more leaders all over the team."I know hes not yet been confirmed as manager, although there is an expectation he will be. Who knows what will happen? But, yes, its important for me to know who the manager will be."Neil clearly understands whats needed at Celtic and I appreciate his interest. But weve still got to properly negotiate and the figures might not stack up."Celtic is a serious possibility, but I am also talking to a few other clubs.

campbell pledges future to Arsenal
The centre-half is expected to agree a one-year deal Performance against Tottenham convinced Arsene WengerSol campbell is ready to ignore more lucrative offers from other Premier League clubs and sign a one-year contract at Arsenal, having convinced Arsene Wenger, the manager, that he merits a new deal at the club.Wenger has decided that he wants to keep the 35-year-old centre-half, after watching him produce a commanding performance at Tottenham Hotspur last month. campbell has maintained his form in Arsenals three subsequent games and he hopes to finish the season in fine personal style against Fulham on Sunday, before sitting down with the club to commit his future.campbell had previously struggled for Arsenal, whom he rejoined on a short-term contract in January, having not played top-level football since last May. He had left Portsmouth for League Two Notts County over the summer, only to walk away after one appearance.But the game at Tottenham, one of his former clubs, for which he was fiercely motivated, marked the turning point and Wenger has resolved to reward him, mindful also that his experience and influence in the dressing-room are important.Wenger looks increasingly likely to lose one of his first-choice centre-halves, William Gallas, on a Bosman free transfer because the club cannot agree a new contract with him. Mikael Silvestre, meanwhile, is expected to be released when his deal expires at the end of the season and to lose campbell as well would gravely weaken his central defensive options.Gallas, who has missed the end of the season because of a calf injury, has held out for at least a two-year contract extension only for Wenger to offer him one year, with the performance-related option of a second. Gallas has grown increasingly disillusioned and he is likely to leave, with Paris St-Germain, Gallass home-town club, favourites to sign him.Sol campbellArsenalDavid Hytner guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Sol campbell rallies Arsenal youngsters for assault on honours
Attractive football must reap rewards says Sol campbell The belief has started to come, everyone can feel itSol campbell has called on his young Arsenal team-mates to make sure they are not just remembered for their attractive football, and to deliver a first Premier League title since the "Invincibles" of 2003-04.Arsenal have put themselves into contention in the title race, and are only two points behind the leaders Manchester United heading into the final seven matches of the campaign.With a glamorous Champions League quarter-final tie against Barcelona also on the horizon, there is reason for Arsenal fans to believes Arsene Wengers team can return a first trophy in five years.campbell, who was part of that FA Cup-winning squad at Cardiff in 2005, believes the current side, led by the captain Cesc Fabregas, have the talent needed to do just that."The lads are playing really well and I am sure with their talent, they can play even better," said the 35-year-old former Arsenal captain, who rejoined the club on a short-term deal during January. "However, playing fantastic football all the time is great, but ultimately it is about what you can get out of your career."Young players have to realise pretty quickly that it is not about one game, but how you perform over the whole season."campbell added in the April edition of the official Arsenal magazine: "It is a youthful team and has to learn quickly at this time of the season, because the games come thick and fast - once a game has gone, it is gone."If you win, you have to get your feet straight back on the ground and grind out another win. You can enjoy the moment, but remain level-headed and always think ahead to the next challenge."campbell feels the current squad are starting to acquire the same aura as the one that swept all before them with players such as Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry."Every team has it own kind of frequency, and obviously there were different players [when I left] in 2006," the centre-half said. "Now the lads are young, enthusiastic and blessed with a lot of skill and talent."They have a lot of spirit and belief too, like the team before. The belief has definitely started to come, and everyone can feel it. The manager often talks about belief, but it takes time for it to sink in and for people to really believe."Sol campbellArsenalPremier League guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Song ruled out of Champions League trip to Barcelona
Cameroon player has not travelled to Spain Groin injury for Song leaves Sol campbell favourite to startAlex Song, the Arsenal defensive midfielder and stand-in central defender, has been ruled out of the Gunners Champions League quarter-final second leg match against Barcelona with a knee injury.The Cameroon international, who moved into the back four during Wednesdays first leg 2-2 draw at the Emirates after William Gallas was forced off with a recurrence of a calf strain, has not travelled to Barcelona with the rest of the squad for tomorrow nights game.Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, was understood to favour Song partnering Thomas Vermaelen, believing his greater mobility offered more defensive security than either of the two veterans, Sol campbell and Mikael Silvestre.campbell started at the heart of Arsenals defence during last Premier League match, the 1-0 victory over Wolves, with Silvestre at left-back and despite Wengers concerns that two matches in the space of four days may be too much for the centre-half, Wenger seems to have little option but to select the 35-year-old at Camp Nou tomorrow night.ArsenalChampions LeagueBarcelonaRob Bagchi guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

campbell keen to stay at Arsenal
Veteran defender in contract negotiations with Gunners I want to stay and I want to give my all for at least another yearSol campbell is in no doubt he can compete at the highest level again next season - and has vowed to help "bring some kind of glory back to Arsenal".Arsene Wenger has confirmed he intends to sign a defender this summer, but is keen to keep the former England captain, who will be 36 in September, at the Emirates Stadium."I fancy staying, of course I do," campbell said. "I want to stay and I want to give it my all for at least another year. I could do two, but the manager never gives out two. We always want a little bit more. Give me one year and I will work every day and try to win a trophy and bring some kind of glory back to Arsenal."Deep inside I feel I have got two real gritty years left in me, the years in which I can affect things. If I am in the team I can really make a difference. I know that. And after two years I will look at it again and well see."After that I might only be able to play games here and there, who knows, but I think I can be an influence and be positive and win games and be strong for two years."campbell is hopeful an agreement can be reached. He said: "We will sit down, it has started and we will try to thrash something out. The negotiations are either going to be done in a week or two or it might take until July - you just dont know how things will pan out. We will have to see how Arsene sees me at the club."Fulhams Brede Hangeland and the Senegal defender Pape Diakhate are thought to be on Wengers summer shopping list, with campbell and a fit-again Johan Djourou also set to back up Thomas Vermaelen.The future of William Gallas, however, remains unclear. The French defender, 33 in August, was conspicuous by his absence from the players lap of appreciation after the Fulham game, and the Gunners chairman, Peter Hill-Wood, has described his wage demands - reported to be 80,000 a week - as "quite extravagant"."We would very much like him to stay, but I think for one year, and not on the money he wants," Hill-Wood said in the Daily Star. "He is a good player, but you have got to draw the line somewhere. If he can get the money somewhere else, good luck to him. We still hope he will sign, but if he doesnt, he doesnt."Mikael Silvestre is also out of contract in the summer and the former Manchester United man is a reported target for Blackburn.Sol campbellArsenalPremier League guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Sol campbell to delay decision over Celtic move for up to a month
campbell, 35, focused on wedding and honeymoon in July Former England defender still talking to ArsenalCeltic fans may have to wait another month before finding out if Sol campbell wants to sign for the Parkhead club.The 35-year-old arrived in Glasgow yesterday for a look around Celtic Park as he ponders Neil Lennons offer of a contract.campbell, whose contract at Arsenal has expired, said he is still no closer to signing a deal with the Parkhead club and that he will hold talks with other interested parties, including Arsene Wenger.The former England player will marry fiancee Fiona Barratt on 17 July and admits he may not be able to give Celtic an answer until after their honeymoon.Lennon has already said he would allow the player to miss Celtics Champions League qualifier next month for his honeymoon."Im here to get a feel for the place more than anything else," campbell told the Daily Record."I have to talk to Arsenal as well because they are still at the table, I have to talk to everybody but the main thing for me right now is my wedding and honeymoon. I dont think Ill be committing myself to any club until after that."campbell, who was was also given a tour of Glasgow city centre as well as the clubs Lennoxtown training complex, insists Celtics European ambition is also an important issue."Ive met with Neil Lennon," he said. "The club know they will win the league or finish second. It depends on where they want to go in Europe."Another Celtic target, Jimmy Bullard, claims he too, has not yet made a decision over his future. the 31-year-old Hull City midfielder told the Daily Record."I have just been to the Algarve on holiday and it was good to get away from football and get my thoughts right," the 31-year-old Hull City midfielder told the Daily Record."I have not spoken to Hull about it yet and I dont really know what the script is. I am contracted to Hull at the minute. If someone tells me I am going here or there then I will have to have a look at those things. I have a decision to make so lets see where the future takes me."However, the South Korea international Cha Du-ri, who was holding talks with Celtic today, was more positive.The 29-year-old defender, available on a free transfer from German side Freiburg, said: "I am excited about playing for Celtic and living in Glasgow. Celtic are a big club and have a good chance of winning trophies.And I really want to play in a Glasgow derby. Even in Germany, people talk about the Old Firm game so to actually play in one would be amazing."Sol campbellCelticScottish Premier League guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

American sprinter Michael Rodgers tests positive for banned stimulant
Michael Rodgers could miss world championships Hes no druggie insists sprinters agentThe former American 100 metre champion Michael Rodgers has tested positive for a stimulant found in an energy drink and could be ineligible for the world championships later this month.Rodgers, the 2009 American champion, said on his Twitter account that he had tested positive. The USA Track and Field spokeswoman Jill Geer said the US Anti-Doping Agency is handling his case and would decide Rodgers eligibility for the world championships in Daegu, South Korea. A hearing could be held later this week. A backup sample for Rodgers will be tested on Wednesday.Tony campbell, the agent for Rodgers, said the sprinter tested positive for methylhexaneamine, a stimulant that can be found in energy drinks. campbell said Rodgers ordered vodka with an energy drink at a club last month, two days before a meeting in Lignano, Italy, where he ran the 100m and was a member of the US relay squad."Bad decision on his part. Now hes paying the price for it," campbell said. "We have to clear his name. Thats the main thing we want to do right now. Mike is not a druggie. The only thing hes guilty of is making a poor choice."Two years ago, Rodgers was one of the feel-good stories coming out of the American national championships, as an up-and-coming young athlete who once made a living selling shoes from the back of his car. The 26-year-old finished third behind Walter Dix and Justin Gatlin at the US championships in June."Hes broken up by this," campbell said. "I just told him, I hope its an eye opener for you. But its tearing him up inside."AthleticsWorld Athletics ChampionshipsDrugs in sport guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Charlie Adam and DJ campbell took Blackpool penalty row to extra-time
Argument continued on journey home Ian Holloway had to intervene to break the pair up The Blackpool manager, Ian Holloway, has revealed he had to intervene to break up an argument between DJ campbell and Charlie Adam on the journey home from their draw at Tottenham.The pair had already had a disagreement on the pitch as campbell wanted to take the Seasiders second penalty after Adam had missed the first moments earlier. Blackpools captain got his way and smashed his second attempt beyond Heurelho Gomes to put his team ahead before Jermain Defoes late equaliser.However, Holloway said the argument continued long after the match had finished. "It is a little bit upsetting for me that they care so much they ended up with a little row going on," he told the Blackpool Gazette."I had to sort out a feud on the way home between DJ and Charlie, but that is how much they care. I actually would have agreed with DJ if theyd asked me. I thought he should have taken it. But it just shows what Charlie is all about, that he had the bottle to want it straight after missing one."Holloway believes the incident can be taken as a positive rather than a negative as the team battle against relegation with two games to go."The bottom line is that DJ wanted to win so badly, so did Charlie, and that is what it is all about," he said. "You have to look at what is at stake. We are all so desperate to stay in this wonderful league."We had some things to say to each other in the dressing room afterwards. Everybody had something to say. But they have to remember how proud I am of them. Nothing will ever change that, and nothing will ever change how I feel about this place."BlackpoolIan Holloway guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Sol campbell and Newcastle United part company
Defender leaves after disappointing season on Tyneside campbell made just eight first-team appearancesSol campbell has parted company with Newcastle United after a disappointing season which is widely expected to preface his retirement.The former England, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal centre-half made only eight first team appearances during a campaign in which he struggled to shake off numerous injuries."Sols gone and good luck to him," said Alan Pardew, Newcastles manager. "Sols been an icon of the game but he didnt feature too much here."Indeed the highly paid campbells failure to estabish himself proved one of the reasons why Pardews predecessor, Chris Hughton, was sacked midway through the season.Newcastles current manager has also confirmed that the similarly out-of-contract striker Shefki Kuqi is being released but Meihdi Abeid, the 19-year-old Lens midfielder appears en route to St James Park following a successful trial.Among several other targets, notably including Wigan Athletics Charles NZogbia, Newcastle are in hot pursuit of the widely coveted, 12m rated Lorient striker Kevin Gameiro and hope to convince him his future likes in north east England rather than Spain.Sol campbellNewcastle UnitedLouise Taylor guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

campbell signs one-year Newcastle deal
I couldnt have wished for a better move, says campbell I just want to play and cant wait to get startedSol campbell will remain in the Premier League this season after signing a one-year deal with newly-promoted Newcastle United.The 35-year-old was out of contract after his short-term deal with Arsenal ran out earlier this summer. campbell had courted interest from Newcastles north-east rivals Sunderland as well as Celtic, but the Magpies emerged as the front-runners to secure his services and he completed a medical on Tyneside yesterday.campbells signing will bolster a Newcastle defence that has been weakened by Steven Taylors shoulder injury. Taylor is set to miss the start of the season, which begins away to Manchester United on 16 August, but there are fears he could be sidelined for several months, prompting the manager Chris Hughton to make his move for campbell.The former England international, who only 12 months ago was on the books of the then League Two side Notts County, said he was delighted to be a part of the clubs quest to re-establish themselves in the top tier. "At this stage of my career I couldnt have wished for a better move," campbell, who will wear the No5 shirt, told the clubs website. "To join a club such as Newcastle United, with its proud tradition, heritage and magnificent support is absolutely tremendous for me."Id like to thank Chris Hughton for putting his faith in me and I aim to repay him and the supporters by giving everything I possibly can to help re-establish this great club in the top tier of English football. I just want to play and cant wait to get started."Theres a real buzz about the place and thats great. Ive played at St James Park numerous times and always found it a fantastic place to play. Theres always a tremendous atmosphere. Chris will focus everyone together and get them ready for the season."Hughton was delighted to secure the services of campbell, who he worked alongside at Tottenham when he was assistant coach: "I have known Sol since he was a lad at Tottenham and am fully aware of what he has to offer. That is experience, quality, calm assurance and leadership. Hes a dedicated professional, a terrific addition to the squad and I look forward to working with him again."Sunderlands interest in the 73-times capped former England international diminished in recent weeks after they signed the defender Titus Bramble from Wigan, while they are also expected to use John Mensah for another season on loan from Lyon.campbell has only recently returned from his honeymoon after being married in Northumberland earlier this month. The central defender made a surprise return to the Premier League for a second spell with Arsenal last season, after he had played just one match before leaving Notts County.Sol campbellNewcastle UnitedTransfer window guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Both campbell and Nevin had already done enough to qualify for the London 2012 Olympics.campbell, who is from Hull, said: "It was a close one but I thought I did enough. I was counting the score in the last one and I thought I won by a couple. All the graft in the gym and throughout the year is paying off."All credit to John Joe, hes a great competitor and has qualified for his second Olympics. Ill be going to my first, and now Ive got a world championship final to look forward to.
