    Good man, yourself. I'd give anything to be there. I'm sure I'll find a way to watch it, but Andy will need all the support he can in Texas. Do think he will tcb, as they say in the states.

    Just checked out box nation 12;50 a month no minimum time signup and no registration fee,So we could well get to see Andy Le winning the world title for just 12:50.
    Has anyone with sky signed up to the channel directly any problems,extra charges etc we should know about?

    Johnny Kilbane Weekend / Kilbane Clan Gathering
    7th - 10th June 2012
    Johnny Kilbane was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1889 to an Achill emigrant, John Kilbane, and a Cleveland-born mother Mary Gallagher. Sadly his mother died when Johnny was three years old and his father went blind a few years later, so the youngster was forced to leave school early and work as a labourer. Johnny also took up boxing and in 1912 he became World Featherweight Champion. A victory parade was held in Cleveland for Johnny on St. Patrick's Day 1912 which was attended by 200,000 people. After retiring from boxing, Johnny entered politics and ultimately became a senator and state representative in Cleveland. He eventually held the post of Municipal Court Clerk.

    To mark the centenery of Johnny Kilbane's first world championship success a long weekend of events is planned in Achill, home of Johnny's father, from 7th - 10th June 2012. This event includes a clan gathering of Kilbanes, to which all family members are invited. Registration for the Kilbane Clan Gathering will take place on the evening of Thursday 7th June 2012.
