Oakleaf Boxing Club was formed by Eugene O'Kane in1992,shortly after Michael Curruths Gold & Wayne McCullough Silver success at the 1992 Olympics.

Derry was founded by St. Columba Colmcille in 540AD, he named it Doire, Doire Colmcille in Irish Derry) meaning "Oak Grove"
Our Club took the name Oakleaf because it is so synonymous with our city. I992 was still a very troubled time in our city, civil and political unrest was at it's height. I decided to form a boxing club,to take young people off the streets, give them a healthy & safe alterna

Well we had a couple of “bad wan’s” as we say in Derry, at the National U15/17 Championships at the weekend.
Joshua Cairns lost out on a 3-2 split decision in the final and best wishes to young Stokes. Our problem is with one judge who obviously had decided the winner by ‘reputation’ even before the first bell had sounded. Had he been focusing on the contest, he clearly would had seen Cairns winning rounds 1&2 !!!
On Friday Shaniece Robinson lost a 3-2 split in similar fashion. Again one judges tunnel vision, changed the decision of the contest. Had he given our girl one round, Shaneice would have won.
Blatant bad judging, and nothing being done to stamp this out, from our sport.
Full marks to Danni Doherty and Martin Ward who both lost out to the eventual Champions. So proud of our boxers performances who all did their very best 👏👏👏👏
