FCT Wrestling Association has indicated its interest to participate in the 2nd edition of the Governor Seriake Dickson Wrestling championship billed for Bayelsa state next month.
To this end the association has shortlisted ten wrestlers for camping in the first week of December.
FCT Wrestling Association chairman Chris Yaba Amkpila speaking after the Associations board meeting in Abuja noted that the FCT would be part of the championship.
“We are prepared for championship which is the second edition. Our technical team have been working before now in preparation for the National sports festival but since the festival has been pushed forward, we thought it wise to enter for the Governor Dickson Cup to test our efforts so far”
“As at last year there was no association in place but now there is one and as such we want to make sure we make a good representation of the FCT” he said.
FCT Wrestling Association, head Coach, James Gorge stressed the importance of attending the Governor Dickson Championship.
“The competition is very important for my programme because its like an opportunity to assess ourselves and test the new techniques we have learnt.
You know when you keep training and you beat your partner all the time you would think you have arrived but this would expose our Wrestlers and help them learn other tricks and technique as we prepare for the National Sports Festival next year” he explained.
The 2nd Governor Seriake Dickson Wrestling championship runs from the 15th -20th of next month.
FCT managed only one silver medal last year.
