However, not being an angler, I am a happy citizen of Clare, as T-Day dawned over a delighted nation. No, I am speaking about the mighty achievement in Madison Square Garden last weekend of our world boxing queen of all the belts, Katie Taylor from Bray. Katie Taylor, on the other hand, was as modest and quietly determined, and delighted after her massive victory, as she had been before the battle royal in the Garden. I doubt there will ever be a statue of Anthony Joshua gracing his home town of Watford in the immediate future. In the meantime, still celebrating T-Day, and forgetting all the travails created by matters politic and economic, I hereby publicly state that I will handsomely contribute to the Bray project for the prompt erection of a statue in honour of the magnificently modest but successful Katie Taylor of that town.
