CANAL Boxing Academy marked their official opening with a barbecue for parents and all new members.

It also gave the committee a chance to relax after all the hard work they had put in during the recent months.

The first training night was held on August 10 with 30 new members from the age of 9 upwards going along.

The club thank local businesses and other clubs from County Antrim for all their help and support.

Training nights continue each Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 6.30pm to 7.30pm for beginners and from 7.00pm to 8.30pm for advanced boxers.

The joining fee is £5 for the first week and £3 per week after that. For further details contact Jim Russell or any club member.
