January 29, 2020
It has been close to 30 years since Billy Murray took over the lease of the old tin hut in Wigar Street, known as the ProKick gym. It will take a fraction of that time to rebuild his state-of-the-art multi-purpose training facility backed by Urban Villages. This week took another step closer, the measuring survey was conducted by the architects for the design of the new two-story complex.

Truly invaluable and inspirational. Said Billy Murray.
