Witpoortjie Vikings Amateur Boxing Club will be hosting a parents’ evening at 7pm on 24 February. They will be joined by the Randgate and West Krugersdorp Amateur Boxing Clubs. The purpose of the event is to show parents how well their children have progressed so far this season. The night is to also raise funds for the club to purchase much-needed equipment such as gloves and sand-bags. The friendly sparring contests will take place at the Witpoortjie Recreation Hall.
The Vikings’ head coach, Philip du Rand, said there will be almost 40 boxers participating between the three clubs.
“Some of the boxers who need more ring experience will have more than one bout. We will lower the duration of the rounds so that all the boxers have a chance to compete. All the boxers will also be awarded with a certificate of participation,” he said.
Phillip can be contacted on 081 212 9143 for more information.
