A terrific Saturday night was had by all who attended the Whitehawk Boxing Club's sell-out show, which was held at the Leisure Centre in Moulsecoomb on April 5th. Gary Emins who originally lived in Moulsecoomb and is now a trainer in Whitehawk was extremely pleased with the turnout on the night of 600 people and the fact that the evening went great. He said, "In the future the Club will be looking at holding another show possibly at the beginning of next season or around November time."

Several well known celebrities which included the likes of Ronnie Davies, Scott Welsh and Terry Spinks were at the event to hand out the evening's trophies.

Whitehawk managed one winner that evening with Mark Williams (60kg) who also received the Best Whitehawk Prospect award. Furthermore, Steve O'Brien (67kg) collected the Steve Hagerty Memorial Trophy on the night for the Best Whitehawk Boxer. Several Whitehawk juniors including Lee Mercer (54kg) and Daniel Adams all gained valuable experience in a very competitive night of boxing.

On the night Steve Reed, the Whitehawk Club's light-heavy weight and ABA quarter finalist, was an unlucky loser having been stopped by Colin Goldhawk (Cheshunt) in the second round with a badly cut eye. Whitehawk Boxing Club is continuing to train at St. David's Hall, Whitehawk Road, and wouldwelcome any new members. Also don't forget to look out for details of their future shows.
