The local Mixed Martial Arts club hosted the ‘Rising Stars’ show at the Shantallow Community Centre last Saturday with fighters coming from as far away as Cavan and beyond for the much anticipated show.
Showcasing some fantastic young up-and-coming talent, the event helped raise funds towards the club’s goal of sending its fighters to the World Championships which take place in Munich from October 18th-22nd next.
Our photographer George Sweeney captured some brilliant photographs from the event which proved a real hit! Browse through our snaps and make sure to tag and share.
