History of Our Club

Oak Leaf Amateur Boxing Club was established in 1992, by a group of locals from the Bogside/ Brandywell area. Today only one of those founders remain, Mr Eugene O'Kane (Hon. Secretary). Over the years Oak Leaf has had 100's of boy's and girls through our doors. Within this time we have had countless champions at different ages and weights. Oak Leaf began life in the heart of the Bogside, then moved to the Brandywell Sports Centre, where today remains a focal point in the local community, helping to keep young boys and girls off the streets and also teaches them the discipline of the noble art of boxing.
 
all are welcome to visit or join the club, we are open Monday - Thursday 6:00pm to 8:00pm!!
 
we look forward to seeing all new and old faces in the club

Our Club Officers

Hon. Secretary: Eugene O'Kane Snr: Eugene is the oldest (in more ways than one!!) serving officer in Oak Leaf, he is the man responsible for P.R, such as advertising & organising club events, trips and accomodation etc.
 
Treasurer: Jim Kelly: Jim, arguably has one of the most important jobs in the club. Being a self-funded organization we rely on raising our own finances and the man responsible for maintaining these funds is Jim. He does this job with pride and the club is all the better off for this.
