Fight fundraiser attracts 500

Organisers have claimed more than 500 people watched 15 scheduled boxing contests at a benefits night held at Umina PCYC on Saturday, December 4.

"It really was so much more than a fundraiser," said treasurer of the Umina Beach Rugby League Football Club, Mr Kevin Hulls.

"The Peninsula has a rich tradition of sport and has produced many great athletes over the years.

"There is always rivalry between the codes and clubs.

"This event was the first to bring five clubs and three codes together to raise much-needed funds, the first of many to be held I am sure," he said

All five clubs that participated including the PCYC, Umina junior and senior rugby league football clubs and the Woy Woy Lions junior and senior rugby union clubs all benefited financially.
