I am delighted to raise again the wonderful achievements of a boxing club in East Antrim. This time, I am delighted to announce that Carrick Boxing Academy now has three Antrim champions, following a tough but rewarding weekend at the Antrim senior championships at Crumlin Star Sports and Social Club in Belfast. The boxers put in an incredible amount of work in the lead-up to the competition, and that dedication paid off in a big way. Scott Murray is now the 63·5 kg senior novice champion; Dan Ames is the 71 kg senior novice champion; and Ruben Bell is the 71 kg senior open champion. All three lads brought home gold medals. We are especially proud of Ruben Bell, who was awarded the County Antrim belt, a new addition this year that was presented to the open class winner. It is a huge moment for the club, which has gone from strength to strength, and a reflection of the commitment and drive of the boxers, the coaching team and everyone who supports Carrick Boxing Academy. We are proud of how far all the athletes have come and excited to see what is next for them, with East Antrim punching above its weight again.
