Monkstown BC New Clubhouse Update

The committee of Monkstown Boxing Club are thrilled with the news that the DLRCC ratified our motion for a purpose built boxing hall for our club. We have been waiting a long time to get to where we are now, and we are extremely grateful to all the DLRCC Councillors.


Our club started out by a local community parent & our chairman Tommy Rapple,  in a derelict block of flats, it was very tough but humble beginnings that we really enjoyed. One of the main reasons it was so enjoyable was that we had our own key, we could run extra training sessions whenever we needed, unfortunately it was just too small (with no space for a proper boxing ring). We worked with the council and became anchor tenants in the new mounttown community facility that was built in 2008, since then the membership has grown hugely to over 200 members and although we have two boxing rings erected - we are restricted to the days/hours we can use our club, as this is a multi purpose centre.


Our club is an integral part of our community, which we care deeply about. Our coaches are extremely dedicated to providing the best boxing classes to all our members. Over the past 5 years we have produced 58 Irish Boxing Champions at all levels from Schoolboys/girls to Elites. We have boxers & coaches enrolled in the highly acclaimed IABA High Performance program.


We collobate very closely with many local groups & clubs providing boxing courses and fitness classes:
Community Adults Boxercise Classes (every Tues & Thurs)
Tivoli Training Centre
Dun Laoghaire Community Training Centre
STAG Southside Travellers Action Group
Pavee Point
Sallynoggin Youth Reach
An Gaisce
School completion programmes
DDLETB
Dun Laoghaire Ethnic Minority Forum
My Project - Youths at Risk
Focus Ireland Homeless Family Teams
Local Schools
Local Sports Clubs (St. Josephs FC, Cuala GAA, Carriglea FC, St. Michael Rowing Club, Blackrock College RFC, TEK Utd, Sallynoggin Celtic and many more)
Dublin Boxing Board - Squad Training Sessions


This new purpose built boxing club will help us to provide more classes to the local community and beyond, whilst also giving us the capacity to increase our membership again. This is a huge step in the right direction for our club and our community.
