🏉🥊 This may not be rugby news, but at Chew Valley RFC we love celebrating the achievements of all our members.

A huge congratulations to Valley player Archie Pool on an incredible first season in boxing, becoming a North Region ABA Champion, National Schoolboy Champion, and reaching the Golden Gloves Final. An outstanding achievement that reflects his hard work, dedication, and commitment.

We're also proud to see other Valley players representing Bristol Ringside ABC, including Tommy Doherty (U11s), Billy Doherty (U13s), George Marklew (U13s), and Freddie Strickland (U13s).

Archie trains at Bristol Ringside, a charity-run boxing club based at Winford Cattle Market. The club is dedicated to giving young people across the area a safe space to train, learn, and grow in confidence. It is run entirely by volunteers. Bristol Ringside ABC

Well done to Archie and all the boys involved. We wish Archie the very best as he prepares for the London International Belt Tournament.
