GUERNSEY boxing has been boosted by the arrival of a Latvian who just missed out on qualifying for the Beijing Olympics.

DETERMINATION is the key to the success of Dale Garland’s career.

THE typhoon in southern China has seriously dented Dale Garland’s hopes of running in the Olympic Games.

DALE GARLAND says his goals have not changed as Rhys Williams, his biggest rival for the Great Britain vest in the 400m hurdles at the Beijing Olympics, has pulled out through injury.

DALE GARLAND has the A-standard qualifying time for Beijing in his sights at this weekend’s 29th Spar European Cup in Annecy, France.
