Boxing club destroyed by arsonists set to reopen
A Gwent boxing club that burnt down in a fire could have a new home soon. Abergavenny Boxing Club, formerly located at Hatherleigh Place, was forced to shut its doors back in September 2024 after a spree of arson attacks broke out across the South Wales area. Advertisement The club was established in 2022 and interacted with at least a hundred members of the community. Since the fire it has been operating at A & J Future Fitness but may be starting afresh in a new venue.

We are on the verge of agreeing a venue which would be sustainable for the long term and in a fantastic setting, for the boxers as well as the coaches. 'We will hope to reopen the other classes run previously too, and we will be looking to expand our outreach as a voluntary organisation.' Advertisement Abergavenny Boxing Club owner and pro boxer 31-year-old Kieran Gething shared this latest development with the Argus. Speaking of the fire he said: 'It was one of the worst days I've had in a long time I was really emotional and I'm still quite sore that there's been no resolution. Hopefully we can get this venue. 'We were shocked when it happened there was no prosecution, but it was confirmed to be arson. We don't know who was behind it.' 31-year-old Kieran Gething of Abergavenny Boxing Club in the ring (Image: Kieran Gething) Despite still feeling upset about the previous venue Kieran's got big plans for the new one. Advertisement He said: 'I'm a lead tutor in a Welsh education coaching programme, and I'm hoping to start a free provision for children under 16 and if successful classes of up to twenty. 'So, a completely free service to all under 16s in Monmouthshire, in association with a local institution.' Kieran said anyone interested in volunteering at the new club should get in touch via email at gething123@ or contact the club on social media.

USGA says it's not necessary to test everyone's driver at events
OAKMONT, Pa. – Driver testing for characteristic time, or CT, became a headline at last month's PGA Championship when Rory McIlroy's driver was deemed nonconforming just days before the year's second major, and it was later learned that world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler's driver also failed the test, which essentially measures the 'springiness' of the driver face. Whether driver testing becomes a talking point again this week remains to be seen, but the USGA is forging ahead with testing at the U.S. Open. Advertisement According to John Bodenhamer, the USGA's chief championships officer, about a third of the field, a little more than 50 players, were tested this week at Oakmont. The USGA does not publish the results of the testing. 'There's nothing to suggest there are a ton of drivers that are over the limit,' said Thomas Pagel, the association's chief governance officer. 'It's less than a handful.' Following his victory at the PGA Championship, Scheffler said he'd like to see more 'robust' testing and that the current process only goes 'halfway.' Since the PGA Championship, many players have called for an all-or-nothing approach to driver testing and protocols that would either test the entire field at a particular event or no one. Advertisement 'We test them throughout the year and don't think it's necessary [to test every driver each week],' said Bodenhamer. 'It would be difficult, from a time perspective, to test every driver and we don't want to be too intrusive.' Currently, a player's driver is tested about three times a year at various events on the PGA Tour or at major championships, and logistically it would be a challenge to test the entire field at this week's U.S. Open with 156 players and each test lasting about 15 to 20 minutes. Instead, the USGA, along with the game's other stakeholders, contends more comprehensive testing isn't necessary based on the number of drivers that fail the CT testing. Close up on golf ball Plan B? No, the USGA is moving forward with ball roll back Advertisement USGA CEO Mike Whan stated clearly that the USGA, along with the R&A, plans to move forward with the ball roll back. 'We think the testing that we're doing is commensurate with both the degree of failure that we see, which is pretty minimal, and quite frankly, when we see failure, at least currently, we're seeing clubs just literally creep over the line,' said USGA CEO Mike Whan. 'It's a line we draw — we aren't seeing when we're taking drivers off, drivers that are, oh, my gosh, look where that one went [over the limit].' Some players also questioned the testing protocols, pointing out that there is no testing for CT, or creep, at LIV Golf events. The USGA, which administers CT testing at Tour events and the PGA Championship, does not test drivers at LIV events but Pagel said 'any tour, men or women, who reaches out for support, we would support.'
