Global TV sports favourite Squire Barnes got them ready to rumble this year at Hollyburn Country Club as, last Friday, the A4K (Athletics for Kids) Boxing Gala and fundraising dinner took place for the sixth straight year. A sold out event since the start, this black tie affair consists of a martini reception, steak dinner to die for and four rounds of Olympic style sanctioned boxing. Raising money for kids to play sports is the main goal - and you know this gang will be back with more next year for lucky year number seven. Congrats to all involved.
