Local clubs, Scorpion Boxing and Churchland Golden Gloves will be taking on an England Select team at the Lodge Hotel on Friday 4th April.

This is the first ever International boxing tournament to be held in Coleraine and it promises to be a fantastic night. The Ballymoney club has combined with the Coleraine outfit last year with a very successful away trip to Germany, and it has been a very successful partnership bringing the two towns together.

From Coleraine Anton McLaughlin , Irish champion Lewis Dickey, Simon McElwee , Ryan and Dillon Doherty, Marty Boreland and Adam Deighan are on the bill that oozes quality and promises the boxing fans a real treat.

The tournament is being run in association with Caring Caretaker so some of the funds made will be going to a good cause, so it is hoped that everyone will turn out on the night to support this fantastic event.
