admin@actboxing.cjb.net The recent successful tournament at the Turner PCYC on 13 May featured 9 bouts and two exhibitions. Boxers attended from Underground Training Centre, Tuggeranong PCYC, Bowral, Campbelltown, Bankstown, Wagga Wagga, Dapto, Penrith, and Glenroy (Vic). Local boxers participating were Darren Summerrell, Clayton Tidbury, Sam Towill, Mike Smith, and novices Justin Dubanya, Ben Molloy, Ashlee Lopez and Kevin Hollis. Campbelltown’s Tommy Browne boxed two bouts, winning both.
Deputy
Opposition Leader Ted Quinlan and Sports Minister Ted Stefaniak presented the
trophies for the first two bouts of the night, while the other trophies were
presented by members of the Oceania team in residence at the AIS.
Thank
you to the boxers and their coaches, and congratulations to Richard Terry and
all the helpers for making it such a smoothly-run event,Thanks also to
referees/judges John Thompson, Paul Thompson, Richard Terry, Wayne Rose &
Tony Whelan. The 2000 Oceania Championships were held in Canberra at the Australian Institute of Sport from 19-23 May following the last-minute cancellation of the original arrangements for Samoa. Advance publicity and attendance was generally disappointing, though the finals night on Tuesday was well attended and telecast on pay TV.
For
this Olympics, there is a limit of one boxer per weight division from the
Oceania Zone (unlike Europe and the Americas which will have a larger
contingent). The Oceania Championships -gold medal winners listed below will
(subject to confirmation) be the Oceania team at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
The next southern zone boxing tournament will be on Saturday 3rd June at the Workers Club in Oakdale. Registered boxers intending to compete must attend the weighin 1-3 pm and the pre-bout medical exam at 5.30 pm sharp. Bouts commence at 6.30 pm. Coaches: please advise Ross Clout on 4261 1259 of weights of any boxers you are taking to this tournament, to assist in matching. Gouldburn will host a tournament in Saturday 1st July, at the PCYC in Avoca Street, commencing 7pm. Weigh-in and medical between 2 & 4 pm . During the evening there will be an auction of boxing gloves signed by Kostya Tszyu and by the Kelly brothers.
