THE Launceston Amateur Boxing Club held it's first boxing tournament of the new season at the Launceston Town Hall on Saturday, October 6 and saw many of the clubs new athletes making their debut appearance.

There was a delay to the start of the show due to the boxing ring not arriving but a local club, Bideford ABC (Amateur Boxing Club) came to the rescue and supplied theirs. The first bell started what proved to be, a very entertaining night of boxing for a large and very appreciative audience.
