Golden jubilee in 2022 for Cork Ex-Boxers Association

Former WBO world champion Steve Collins with some of the Cork Ex-Boxers committee’s anniversary tour and celebrations in Cork.
This Saturday, as part of its 50th-anniversary celebrations, it was intended for members to assemble on the steps of Shandon. The plan was to formerly ring out ‘Banks of my Own Lovely Lee’ on the famous bells. The location on Shandon was chosen as it is an iconic building, with many of Cork’s famous boxing clubs founded in its shadows.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the calendar was very professionally produced and captured the spirit of the association over the last 50 years.
