Pat Ford

Exhibition

In 1947, 16-year-old Pat Ford stepped into the ring at the newly established Catholic Young Men's Society (CYMS) boxing club in Dalton's Mill on Peisley Street. By 1950, he was the NSW and Australian Amateur lightweight champion. The exhibition, Pat Ford: Pride of Orange, features rarely seen images, film footage and sporting memorabilia from the short but remarkable career of Orange's 'boxing butcher'. May 1-October 28. Orange Regional Museum. Entry is free.
