FERN Tivernan fought three tough rounds to earn a points win and land the WKA English Amateur Ladies title.

Facing the challenge of Derby opponent Adele Huyde, the Pershore kick boxer was trailing after the opening round.

However, she battled back to take the second and continued to pile on the pressure and secure an excellent victory.

On the same bill, clubmate Bill Smith produced an outstanding performance to knock out his opponent.

Having easily won the opening two rounds, Smith ensured there was to be no way back when he knocked down his opponent in the last round.

The club is keen to welcome more new members, like Smith, to their ranks and any one interested is asked to telephone Stuart Marler on 01386 561328 or 07780 958344.
