TRALEE Boxing Club was absolutely delighted with the turnout last Friday for the town’s annual St Patrick’s Day Parade.
A fine crew of our dedicated Clan prepared to face the weather and crowds in order to showcase the talent and diversity of our club again this year.
Luckily, for all present, the rain took a break for the majority of the march, and all our boxers and coaches got to show off some sleek skills, or to demonstrate the inclusive community attitude found at TBC.

We would like to thank all of our superb boxers who took part, coaches, flag carriers, marchers and supporters. It was a fantastic day of national pride and everyone represented our club incredibly well.

We were particularly proud to have so many club members of other nationalities celebrating the day and marching as one. Talking to spectators, it was clear that Tralee Boxing Club was very popular with the crowd again this year.
Huge thanks are also due to our fabulous volunteers who organised, promoted and took part in the event. Without the effort of these selfless individuals, we could not run a club like TBC. Special mention also goes to local artist and TBC volunteer, Tina O’ Shea.

Tina, who is well known for her landscape paintings, regularly stretches her artistic talent to face painting. Always a hit with the kids, Tina’s creativity really helps TBC stand out from the crowd every year.

A reminder to our members and local supporters, Tralee Boxing Club Annual Easter Fun Run is fast approaching. The event is more than just a Fundraiser for the club it is also a great social occasion for all members and families.
Tickets for the Egg-stravagant Easter Raffle are now on sale with plenty of luxurious hampers and fabulous prizes on offer.
Tickets are available from club in Monavalley, from our Facebook page, Tralee boxing club, or from any number of our members who will be selling tickets in their neighbourhoods over the coming days.
If you’re not in you can’t win, so the very best of luck to all who purchase tickets in support of TBC.

Finally, we at TBC would like to take this opportunity to recognise the valuable contribution of one of our long standing club volunteers. “ Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.” These words are so true of one outstanding woman in our midst.
For more than four years now, Maeve Moriarty, from the Manor area of Tralee, has shared her professional expertise, and wealth of business knowledge with the committee of Tralee Boxing Club, in an effort to help us grow and develop our organisation.
Maeve spent a number or years working her way up through the highest levels of the rugby and soccer sectors in Australia, and had the unique experience of acting as chaperone to a young Prince Harry during the last Rugby World Cup in Australia.
Maeve continues to work in this area today, as a commercial consultant helping Australian and New Zealand sports tech companies expand into Europe and in her spare time acts as a business mentor to, and indispensable supporter of the committee of TBC.
Maeve’s commitment and effort tends to be very much behind the scenes. For this reason we would like to publicly recognise Maeve, and voice our sincere appreciation for her phenomenal service, inspirational leadership and consummately professional advice.
Tralee Boxing Club wholeheartedly thanks you for all you have given over the last few years, Maeve, we wouldn’t be where we are today without your help.
