  Great to see this Dover has in the pass had some very good sports both men and women when I was younger and run the boxing club we had lads boxing for England ,Young A Hayes was a very good boxer and could have made big time ,but things did not go well for him as a young man ,we had both the Ramleys boys Luke who had over 300 bouts and was a very skilled boxer and Jayson who the public loved because he would always give 100% but he was not so good as Luke,we also had the Mills family Dads and sons boxing for Dover and kent,90%of all Dover Boxers also box for kent, Gary Spears still about now was also very skilled and was one of the best young boxers of his day.Some like myself turned to be a trainer after our time in the ring .Most of our fights were away from Dover and that was a pain I would come home from working in London for about 12 hours then back at nights there with the lads, Mr Neil Rix was very good and build us a new club still in use today.It is sad that Dover does not have a club today I could still help out but not with the training.We had two clubs at one time ,the Red Ensigh who had one of the very trainers in the UK at one time he was the Army best boxer Jimmy Mathews .And I was the Dover boxing club trainer in the end both clubs join up and I run it after Jimmy left Dover .He was a better boxer and trainer then myself,but we still had a very good club after he went I was the trainer and boxer with the club for over 20years.But it was the very good lads we had at that time which made it a great club. Turning out in all weather to train and box away at nights and weekends.So I hope the gymnasts will carry on for years to come the training is very hard you have to go to school or work and then turn out again .And to GET anywhere in Sport it is the training ,the harder you train the better you get good to see like the boxing they are getting county Champions.WELL DONE AND KEEP IT UP.
