ST. Andrew’s ABC held a show at the Austin Social club last month. It was a big success for the Birmingham club with head coach Simon Ford putting together a cracking 14-bout bill. It was good to see Dave Allen in the corner with two of his amateur boxers. Both looked well-coached and were in exciting bouts. Dan Murrell beat Jim Maughan (CTK) and Leo Corrigan won against Liam Skeldon (Wolverines), making the journey from up north worthwhile for the Wilby Carr boxers.
A novice bout saw two prospects, Miles Alibon (SABA) and Dere Flannagan (Berinsfield) both looking good for their future in amateur boxing after a very hard contest with Alibon getting a unanimous verdict. At 64kgs Ewan Baxter (Studio) had a terrific bout againt Laiton Flannigan (SABA), taking a unanimous decision from the judges.
Solihull ABC had their third event of the season at the Solihull Rotary club this month, a 10-bout dinner show.
