Boxing at MEPS

From Tony Chetham:

In October 1953 boxing classes started under Mr Rifkin. After Mr CJ Metcalfe became Head, Max Cable resurrected boxing which proved popular. For one of the boxing tournaments MEPS hosted 'upcountry’ schoolboys. My opponent was from Eldoret Primary School & we accommodated the lad at home. This was the case with all the other visiting schoolboys who travelled down on the NBO-MSA train accompanied by their teachers. It was a big event.

The local press seemed quick to pick up the stories. There are four clippings to read. Each is a .jpg file:
