Boxing For Boys

The manly art of boxing, which these days is not as prominently to the fore as it used to be is enjoying a revival in Gisborne. A successful tournament was held at the local Y.M.C.A. recently, and created a good deal of interest.

These pictures were taken in the Railway Hall, where about 30 or so boys train on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Mr Peter Bradley is the supervisor and chief instructor. & Mr Blake Naden is P.T. instructor
