Les Stevens runs Pinewood Starr Boxing Club just a mile away and John Frankham is encouraging the youngsters too. Dan Smith fought for England schoolboys and his sons went into football. Tom became a goal-keeper.
Lewis Byrne is a 26 year old middleweight professional. He visited today on other business. Someone to follow.
