A boxing club which faced closure has been saved at the last minute by its local community. Earlier this year Kenfig Hill Amateur Boxing Club received a notice saying they would have to leave their premises in Porthcawl immediately and with nowhere suitable to go their future was hanging in the balance.
But after people in the town heard about what was going on offers of support came flooding in to coach Ryan Osgood, known as Ozzie. The club had been based at the Beachcomber pub on Porthcawl's seafront since 2017 but it was never meant to be a long-term home.
They club will now have a fresh start with a new name, Mynydd Cynffig Ameteur Boxing Club, as it is moving to Kenfig Hill Labour Club in Prince Street. It will all be up and running by Monday, April 3 and excitement is now beginning to build.
