FOUR schools in Dublin 15 gave boxing a boost last month month when they took part in a school programme that culminated with a presentation night in Mulhuddart Boxing Academy.
A total of 24 pupils from Tyrellstown ETNS, ladyswell NS, St Luke’s NS and St Philips NS were all involved in the four week promotion. Many of the youngsters had never been in a boxing gym before, but they all did themselves proud.
The aim of the program was to introduce boxing to children as a fun and enjoyable way to exercise.
It’s hoped many will continue training as boxing club members.
