Seconds Out: Stories of Irish Boxing – the story of YOUR club.

IABA News

IABA has produced and published a series of films in 2024, sharing the stories of Irish boxing, called Seconds Out.  This has included profiles of Connacht’s Gus Farrell, Munster’s Anna Moore, Ulster’s Eugene Duffy, a peak inside High Performance, a profile on the work of R&Js at National Championships, a Day in the Life snapshot of High Performance athlete, Niamh Fay and profiles of the Paris 2024 team. You can watch all of the pieces HERE

Now, IABA wishes to profile and platform a successfully affiliated club within the Association. Given the sheer number of incredible clubs, clubs and their members will, themselves, vote for the club to be profiled.

How does it work?

Phase One – December 23rd to January 3rd

  • Please share this link https://shout.com/s/99XiKfUf with your club members, and on your social media platforms so that members can vote for your club to be featured.
  • This link will also be shared on IABA’s website, X/Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, so that members of the public can vote
  • You can vote as many times as you want

Phase Two – January 4th to January 12th

  • When Phase One closes on January 3rd, the shortlist of the 5 clubs with the highest number of votes will be released to all clubs and on all IABA platforms – this is Phase Two.
  • A new link will be shared with all clubs, and across IABA social media, so that voting for any of the top 5 shortlisted clubs can take place
  • Voting for the winning club will take place January 4th to 5pm on January 12th.
  • The winning club will be notified, and announced on all IABA platforms on January 13th.

When will filming take place?

  • Filming dates will be January 22nd and/or 23rd. These dates cannot be altered.
  • The crew will come to the winning club to film interviews with club leaders and boxers, and to film training.
  • The winning club must ensure that consents are in place among members for filming and for publication.

***If your club does not wish to be filmed and/or to have members interviewed, your club should not take part.

When will the film be released?

  • Editing and post production usually takes around 4 weeks, so, at the end of February.
  • IABA will publish this final film on YouTube, the IABA website, and IABA’s X/Twitter, Facebook and Instagram platforms.
  • IABA will also issue a press-release to the media to accompany publication, to further promote boxing and the winning club.
