Give me a go, says coach

NATIONAL boxing coach Lynch Ipera asked all his critics to give him chance to prove his worth as coach of the national team.
The former Oceania champion and Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Ipera will make his debut as the coach for the boxing team to the Oceania Boxing championship in Apia, Samoa, later this month.
Ipera and his trainer coach Joe Aufa has been taking the team for intensive training for the last five weeks at the PNG In-service College.
"Everyone is looking great and are looking forward for the tournament," he said.
He said he was also impressed with the three young female boxers who will go down in the history of sports as the first women team to attend international tournament.
The three female boxers are Naomi Sugar Ray (52kg), Marie Greg (54kg) and Georgina Ketonai (60kg). The other two female boxers Marie Pascol and Christine Ofoi could not travel because their have no opponents in their divisions - 48kg and 64kg respectively.
The men's squad is as follows (men) 48kg Lui Magaiva and Jack Willie, 51kg Francis Oaike, 54kg Eugene Keto, 57kg Andrew Opugu, 60kg Jeff Koredong, 69kg Toksy Seteme and 81kg John Korake
