Shildon ABC would like to congratulate James McMeekin (Mac) on being nominated as 1 of 3 finalists for the 2014 Local Hero Award - Junior Sporting Excellence.

 

The awards ceremony takes place on the 11th of December and Mac will join the likes of Stuart Hall the former IBF World title holder who is also one of three finalists for the Senior Sporting Excellence Award.

 

Mac has had a fantastic year and deserves his place at these awards.  Mac is comfortably the number one boxer in this country at his age and weight.  In April he claimed his third successive national title and then went on to claim the Three Nations title.  Mac also went to Hungary this year to compete at the European Schoolboy Championships.   

 

I think you will all agree Mac has well earned his place as a finalist at these awards and we will keep you posted on how Mac gets on.
