L/Cpl Parkinson (Parky) after winning his fight at the British Army Germany Championships against 35 Royal Engineer Regiment.

Parky came out for the fourth bout against L/Cpl Ellis, Parky was equal to the task and met his opponent in the centre of the ring with a brief exchange of blows, Ellis, obviously realising he couldn`t match Parky for his strength got on the back foot and tried to put distance between him and his fired up opponent. During the final round, Parky went forward looking to stop his now tired and weekend opposition, that he did, after connecting with a left hook to the head the referee then stopped the bout in favour of L/Cpl Parkinson.

Guardsman Collins takes on the heavyweight of a German Civilian Boxing Club and woops his bottom, good old MICK.

For the first time in 20 years, the Irish Guards found themselves competing for the title of the British Army Boxing Championships.
