T/W - Hogmanay 2004 (Anglo-Scottish bout)

From the "Joy of Sport" magazine, January 2005.

"Miranda Keys (Wallasey) staged a comeback to beat Scottish girl Taryn Rees in her own country on New Year's Eve.

One submission down in this all-nude bout, Keys somehow managed to straddle the supine Rees with the Scottish girl's arms trapped behind her back. This left her totally unable to protect herself against an upper body tickling, a factor Keys exploited with evident and ruthless glee. [See picture above.]

Rees bicycled her legs and bare feet in the air with frustration as she laughed, squealed and shouted insults and threats at Keys, the latter only encouraging the Wallasey girl to tickle her trapped and totally helpless body more and more furiously. There was no way Rees could escape from the unmerciful, painless torture, and there was no way Keys was going to stop, but she refused to yield for at least fifteen minutes before Keys's relentless tickle torture broke her and she screamed her submission.

Rees had been too brave; had she succumbed as soon as it was obvious she wasn't able to struggle free from beneath Keys's naked body, she would have saved herself losing energy through her ceaseless laughter. Instead, she remained (stupidly?) defiant and suffered a quarter of an hour of tickling, even though it was abundantly clear that she couldn't do anything about it except submit. Consequently, she emerged a tired woman from the submission break and Keys found it relatively easy to flip her into a folding press and inflict the winning tickle orgasm.

It had all started so promisingly for Thurso woman Rees, who took the lead early on by using her strength to inflict a "Pose", toes-up, foot-tickling hold on her English opponent. To compound her misery, the North of Scotland Tickle Wrestling Association (under whose authority she competes) rightly suspended her for six months for the verbal abuse she directed at Keys during the match."
