Our fundraising white collar boxing night was a great success on Friday last with over 450 people sitting down to enjoy the 11 bouts on offer at The Royal National Hotel in Russell Square , all bouts were evenly matched with wins for Matt Joyce , Naul Mullan, Caoimhin Carthy , Jo o Connor , Brian Rooney , Aaron o Connor, Tom Waters , Mark Roche , Dan Mcandrew with draws between Chris Byrne /Jasper Sweeney and Barry Shanahan /Chris Mcglynn

The raffle and auction went better than anyone could have imagined and when all takings are in we expect to have raised over £75,000 towards the fund for the club buildings at Barnet Lane , a truly remarkable sum of money to be fair , huge thanks to all the boxers and trainer Dermot Mannion but most thanks must go to Ger and Carol o Shea who made it the success it was and without whom it would never have got off the ground , we owe them a massive debt of gratitude .We now will start our monthly club draw for 2022-23 with the first draw due by the end of May , those who have not already done so can do it on clubzap in one or two instalments and we will have monthly prizes of £500/£250/£250 .

Kids training is starting back this Friday with Tots through to U11 , u13 and U15 will train on Tuesday and Thursday with U17-seniors on Wednesdays , girls training is as per the groups ,the ladies team had their first competitive outing against a strong Fr Murphy's side and despite going down the roots are in place now to continue this team for the years ahead and give our girls a platform to stay within the club ,blitzes will come thick and fast now in the coming months for the underage groups .

The plans for the clubhouse are taking shape behind the scenes and we will have more to report in the coming weeks on this but rest assured works will begin in the not too distant future .We will keep you all updated with club news every few weeks now when the seasons are up and running .

The club was very saddened to hear of the untimely passing of GAA stalwart Mattie Maher on Saturday while refereeing a junior game in Watford , he was taken far too soon and will be a huge loss to London GAA .We pass on our condolences to his wife Denise and his two children Ciara and Matthew at this terrible time .There will never be another Mattie .
