As the new season gets underway, CABC has appointed a new Club Captain - Dom McGurl !

Dom gained so valueable experience last season and is keen to make his mark with some ring success this time round. His maturity and manner made him a natural successor to Billy Smart who unfortunately has had to step away from the sport due to work commitments.

The coaches and committee wish Dom the best of luck leading the team in the coming campaign !

Cheers Bill. The gym is quieter without you mate, probably not a bad thing as the lads are getting on with their training and getting fitter than ever!! :)
Hope the job is going well... I'm sure we'll see you down the gym soon.
