1956.

The Army Inter-Unit Team Boxing Championships held at the Military Boxing Centre, Aldershot, between 38 Trng Rest RA and. 2nd Batin KRRC on February 24 resulted in a win for the Nine Corpe, by 18 points to 15. The KBRC were the better team and deserved their victory, but the general standard left a lot to be desired.
