Sport plays a huge part in this weekend's events round up for the Ashby area.

Ashby Ivanhoe FC are hoping to take advantage of the international weekend which means no Premier League or Championship games.

They host Dudley Sports in a Midland League game at the NFU Ground in Lower Packington Road tomorrow (Saturday).

Ivanhoe are hoping for another good gate and you can find out more details HERE.

Also on Saturday, Ashby Leisure Centre in Hood Park has a night of boxing tomorrow.

A British title, A 5 nations title, A central area title, a Midlands area title and two Midlands title eliminators with a full supporting undercard are all on the bill.
