"Special Mention "

Special mention in order to recognise exceptional achievement goes to Liam Foster, Fred Phelps and Jake Towse, all of whom made excellent progress in the respective competitions they entered.

Liam won the Sussex Schools ABA under 36Kg Class B title, Fred was desperately unlucky not to win the Southern Counties Senior Novice Under 75Kg Class B title losing the final 10 to 9 on all 3 score cards and Jake for winning the Southern Counties CYP Class C U60Kg title and following up to win the South East regional title, he will soon compete in the national 1/4 final.

Congratulations

Congratulations go to Ben White who since moving to London through work and joining Finchley ABC has progressed to the London Federation Cup Class C Under 63.5Kg Final - Best of luck Ben.

Good News and Thanks

The majority of the work has been completed on an extension to the existing gym, finishing works are ongoing but we are now in a position to invite more young people to train in improved surroundings. However the work would not have been completed without the kind assistance and generosity of others as we found ourselves with a huge deficit due to unforeseen complications during the build.

Our deepest thanks go to:

Sad news

Former HWABC coach and committee member Jim Hart who enjoyed a lifetime association with the club, responsible for nurturing many talented boxers through the junior ranks has sadly passed away.

The Jim Hart shield will remain at the club and be presented to the best minor boxer annually thus ensuring Jim's memory and input lives on through the achievements of our young boxers.

R.I.P Jim from all at Hastings Westhill ABC

Our condolences to Jim's family and friends.
