Welcome to ICENI
A.B.C. |
|
| |
.
For those of you who weren't around in the Roman
days let me tell you why we chose the name ICENI,
most people have heard of Queen Boadicea who fought
against the Roman invasion with a tribe of warriors
who inflicted heavy losses on the great Roman
legions. That tribe of fighters were called the
ICENI, and were allegedly based in the fens of south
Cambridgeshire.
.
The boxing club has now been operational for two
seasons, and although we haven't set the world on
fire, we have eased gently into the sport with a
good squad of boxers who were all 'no bouters' or
complete novices. Like everyone, we have made
mistakes, but we have learnt and in many instances
have reversed decisions against opponents.
.
Next season we intend to enter boxers into some of
the championships and we also welcome females who
want to box.

So you want to box competitively? |
|

.
Before thinking about joining, contemplate
these figures that I have assessed over the last
fifteen years.
For every person, male or female who walks through
the door and says they want to box competitively.
85% never return after the first couple of training
sessions, 14% manage a month or so and only 1% ever
climb through the ropes to box and fulfil their
dreams, of this 1% half never enter the ring
again!

Sponsors |
|
| |
.
As with most boxing clubs we are dependent on the
generosity of individuals/companies to provide
equipment, sponsorship etc. Our president Mr Frank
Lindsay of J F. Lindsay Construction has been very
generous and this has allowed us to operate one of
the few full time gyms, offering a range of times to
suit people to train who are not eligible to box or
don't wish to box competitively.
The club also receives financial backing from Mr
Kester Lilley who owns Lilley of Sawston, a
successful garden maintenance company. We are also
fortunate to have the backing of others who wish to
remain anonymous.
We have had two very successful home boxing shows at
the Guildhall in Cambridge, these also generate much
needed revenue. |
