Asian Games & Arafura Games — fair play? Michael Ninness won all heavyweight bouts in a recent round robin to pick a NSW team for national pre-selections for the Asian Games in May. However NSWABA had already decided that the heavyweight & several other divisions would not be sent. Boxers discovered this after the round robin was over. NSWABA officials say it was an “oversight” that boxers were not told. This is not fair play. NSW selection procedures should be accountable and transparent, instead of being conducted in secrecy and on the basis of undocumented criteria. Ninness & Adam Lovelock from Tuggeranong are also competing in selection trials for the NSW team to the Arafura Games in Darwin. Good luck guys!
