This class is almost full, only a few spaces available.

Last seasons boxers resume training on Monday 7th September for the new season, at the moment these classes are full, spaces may become available if people opt not to return.

Three of our boxers took part in the West of Ireland Novice Box Cup in Conamara, great experience for Adam Dyar, Rory Nugent and Davis Melnacis, this is their first year of competion for the lads and all performed really well. Disappointment for Reinis Paluhs whose opponent from Cork failed to enter the ring for the last bout of the day.

Great night for some outdoor training, our two groups trained outside in lovely conditions

Well done to Adam Dyar, Che Convery and Daniel Hynes who boxed in the Kilfenora tournament, mixed results for the lads but all performed well

We would like to acknowledge the generous donation to the club from Maurice Manning, Maurice is a Loughrea native and lived on Barrack Street. He has spent most of his life in the USA and now resides in Toledo Ohio. He has never lost his connections to the town and has always been a great supporter of sport and activities for young people. As we celebrate our 70th anniversary this donation is a great help to us, many thanks Maurice.
