Bombers likely to miss London 2012

The national amateur boxing team could miss out of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The team which was supposed to travel to Morocco today for the final African qualifiers is still in Ghana due to their inability to secure a flight.

The Black Bombers have a 9am deadline tomorrow to reach Morocco for the qualifiers or forget participating at the multi-sport event from July 27 to August 12.

Spokesperson of the Ghana Amateur Boxing Association Naa Darkua Dodoo says an alternative travelling arrangement is being put in place.

She told Joy Sports the flight was cancelled because of a “technical hitch.”

She said the association is liaising with government to get the bombers to Casablanca.
