PCYC Boxing tournaments scheduled

 

The Amateur Boxing Association has scheduled two tournaments to be held at Umina's Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) this year.

The PCYC State Titles will also be held at Umina.

"March 16 will see the challenge go out and already there are keen competitors from Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle and Wellington stepping up for the big day," according to PCYC co-ordinator Senior Constable Paul Hanna.

"A large turn out is expected and, weather permitting, it will be conducted under lights and under the stars."

The event will be held from 5pm until 9pm.

Tickets will cost adults $10 and under-18s $5, with tickets available at the PCYC or at the door.

Local sponsors are being sought to support the event.

The tournament follows a similar event held last November, where Umina PCYC challenged the rest of NSW in a boxing tournament that drew contenders from Sydney, Newcastle and as far away as Griffith and Muswellbrook.

"More than 450 local supporters turned out to fill the PCYC with a cheering crowd that was not disappointed by the staunch Umina Boys' display of tactics and endurance," according to Paul Hanna.
