Berinsfield ABC are celebrating a second cash injection from the Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF) that will provide vital equipment.

The £3,500 grant will equip the gym with new punch bags, sparring gloves and other accessories to benefit the 40 or so aspiring champions training there each week.

Chief coach Mel Corrigan said: "The Oxford Community Foundation provides a lifeline for small organisations like us and they help not only boxing clubs, but other sporting teams.

"Wally Cox, their funding co-ordinator, was so helpful and supportive of the work we are trying to achieve here in Berinsfield."

OCF previously gave the club funds to purchase a mini bus.
