Jack has been with the club a little while now and has become a valued member of the squad and was indeed voted 2008 Best Junior Club Member. He has however stood out this quarter because of the progress he has made in his all round game. Jack has progressed through regular sparring to a level that leaves him nearly ready to compete. This improvement has lead to Jack accompanying the club boxers on sparring trips to other clubs through which his learning has further improved.

 

Jack has decided to put his funds to the earlier accrued money and allow the club purchase the new competition gloves.

Daniel has made a huge impression with everyone at the club since joining a couple of months ago. His dedication and hard work in the sessions has paid dividends with a rapid, steep learning curve. This was highlighted in November by his invitation to the boxing squad where it is hoped his learning the ropes will speed up even more.Already attending shows to support his new team mates it won't be long before Daniel joins them in competition. A polite and unassuming young man, it was no surprise he received the majority verdict of the coaches for the JP Award. Daniels request was to have a new Round Timer / Clock which was duly purchased.  

  

 

Those of you who have been following the site news stories will know it was never really in doubt. Whilst there have been many improved performances in training amongst the non carded members, Deano had a Qtr 1 that was head and shoulders above anyone elses. Not only in his bouts but also his training and his efforts saw him reap the rewards.

His vigilant training and weight maintenance alowed him to collect the Essex and Eastern Counties Schools titles along the way. Enthusiasm spread throughout the club and a new feeling of optimism seems to heve spread through the members. 

Dean decided he would like the club to have a body bag for coaches to use whilst doing their padwork.

 

 Jamie turned his seaon around in the final quarter by hitting winning form and further improving his training and competition levels. Jamie proved a role model and inspiration for the other junior club members with his hard work and dedication evident to all. He has a big future ahead of him and will make the transition to senior with ease.

Jamie's wish was for the club to have new competition gloves for its home shows. These are currently still being sourced in conjunction with the release of 09 models by some manufacturers.
