Baton bullies left rouge

Brave Ciaran Muir is beating the bullies by becoming brilliant at his chosen sport of baton twirling.

The nine-year-old has loved the hobby since before he could walk and won’t let the barbs of ignorant youngsters put him off.

He is already close to British glory and has his sights set on Europe. The best way to silence his uninformed critics is to show them a trophy cabinet fit to burst.

We have no doubt he will have the last laugh.
