Looking Back: Kilcullen Boxing Club

Now here's a really nice one, sent in by Cormac Aspell on behalf of parents Marie and Tony. It's Kilcullen Boxing Club and includes their international and Olympic boxer Colm McCoy in the middle.

My own Dad is there as club chairman, in his bow tie period. There's also Hugh Peacocke with a mischievous head, trainer Capt Cyril Russel, Pat Lynch, Paddy Bathe, Paddy Aspell, Tommy and Christy Howard, and Tony Aspell himself on bottom row, third in from the left.

Probably around 1958. Anyone want to fill out the caption?

Update caption from Christy Howard - Front: Tommy Howard, Art McCoy, Tony Aspell, Eamon Lynch, Christy Howard, Tommy Morris; Second row: Hugh Peacocke, John McCoy, Colm McCoy, Captain Cyril Russell (trainer), Paddy Aspell, Paddy Bathe; Back row: Christy Meaney, Mr McCoy, Jim Byrne Jr, Pat Lynch and Tommy Orford.
