As the nation’s boxing prospects racked up victories inside the ring at the just concluded Winfield Braithwaite Caribbean Schoolboys and Junior Championship, the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) and its referee/judges commission also recorded wins of their own.
This is according to GBA’s President, Steve Ninvalle, who told this publication yesterday that the association’s cadre of referees and judges has now more than doubled following the conclusion of the two referee/judges seminars that were conducted along with the tournament.
“It is a win-win situation for the GBA and the referee/judge’s commission,” said Ninvalle of the August 16–20 seminar, which was conducted by James Beckles, Trinidad and Tobago’s Three-Star Referees/Judges Assessor, at the National Racquet Centre.
