SINGTAM, MAY 3: Singtam
Boxing Club, a three year old boxing club had a dream run at the recently concluded
14th State Level Boxing championship that was held at Sonamati
Memorial Government SSS, Khamdong. The boxers from SBC went on to win Sub-Junior
Girls Championship while they stood second at the Sub-Junior Boys Championship.
Pritam Shilal, coach of Singtam
Boxing Club has said his young boxers went on to win 17 medals that included
six gold, four silver and seven bronze medals. It was a great achievement that Pratik
Chettri and Kumari Sanyasi, my students were adjudged Best Boxer of the tournament
in boys and girls category, added the proud coach. Shilal further added, his
success does not stop here. My next goal would be to produce winners from those
who missed gold medals this time. Nevertheless I am happy that their efforts
and hard work are paying off, said Shilal.
Shilal is the former two times
bronze medalists at National Sub Junior Championship but his fatal knee
ligament injury during India Camp in 2009 ended his promising career. Since
then for the last three years, he had been training the young boys and girls
into boxing.
Sunny Kr. Bhagat, the team
captain of Singtam Boxing Club who won the gold in 63 kg category said, he owes
his success to his coach and his family. I am also thankful towards my school,
Government Secondary School Singtam for supporting me. I am happy that last year
I had won bronze and this time it is gold. There were 198 boxers from different
parts of the state in the competition and I feel that Sikkim has a bright
future ahead in this sport, Sunny added.

Club were : Gold: Nisha Subba,
Kumari Sanyasi, Sunaina Bardewa, Pratil Chettri, Anand Chettri, Sunny Kr.
