Cardigan Boxing Club

Members of Frenni lodge 8427 recently visited Cardigan amateur Boxing club to renew their commitment to the outstanding community asset.

The relation ship has extended over nearly 20 years. With Frenni lodge and West Wales freemasons contributing to the rebuilding of the gym and its more recent extension.

The boxing club is oversubscribed with a waiting list of young amateur boxers wishing to join. The recent visit in August saw the gym full of boys and girls of all ages make the very most out of the excellent facilities and the skilled volunteer coaches at hand.

The commitment of the volunteer coaches is second to none giving of there time and expertise freely to ensure the success of the gym continues.

The gym has had an outstanding successful year in the ring with Josh Mellar 86kg wining a Welsh vest and a silver medal in the British Championship. Mikey Sulivan 57kg wining a Welsh vest and a bronze medal in the world youth championships in Colorado. Max Kirkwood 54kg winning a Welsh vest and a bronze medal at the British championships. Dion Jones 63kg and Dyfan Lewis 48kg both winning at the Western division championships.

Frenni lodge is very proud of the relationship it has with Cardigan ABC. Many members of Frenni have been involved with the club in and out of the ring over the last two decades. It is with great pride and honour that Frenni lodges will continue that relationship with a further three-year commitment to support the boxing club with its travelling costs.

A cheque of £500 was presented by the W Bro David Chisholm Master of Frenni Lodge and W Bro Kevin Jones Charity steward.

“We are very grateful of the support we receive from Frenni lodge and the West Wales freemasons. We are all volunteers here and are very grateful of the continued support. The gym is very busy, and we can see the next generation of talent growing. This money will make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to for fill their potential. Thank you.” Mr Guy Croft Head Coach at Cardigan ABC.
