Local boxing club suffers a crushing
blow as fire wrecks havoc
Gilmerton Amateur Boxing Club was dealt a crushing
blow at the beginning of this month when a fire swept through Gilmerton
Church Hall, destroying a great deal of their equipment.
Head coach Rab Young said 'I'm devastated. Things were
going so well for the club recently and now we're back to square one.'
The bad news came less than a week after the club held
a fundraising event at the Sheraton Grand on Festival Square. The night,
which featured a sit down meal, sports memorabilia auction and a number
of exhibition bouts from club members, raised £3,500 for the club. This
money had been intended to go towards keeping the club running for the
next year, but will no have to be invested in replacing their lost
equipment.
This is obviously a big blow for the club, but the
biggest concern has to lie with club protégé Gary Young. At the time
of going to press, Young was preparing to defend his Senior Eastern
District title and gearing up to be involved in next year's Commonwealth
Games. Hopefully this set back won't effect his training and Young,
along with the other lads from Gilmerton ABC, will move from strength to
strength.
