Martin Nevin picked up his second win in 2 days winning on a Unanimous decision after another excellent performance and goes forward to tomorrow’s final.

Martin Gerard Nevin was very unlucky not to get his decision today in a bout that could have gone his way on another day.

Tomorrow we have 5 boxers boxing in the final, Best of luck Owen Ward, Jack Maughan, Martin Nevin, John Paul Ward and Christy Maughan.

Olympic BC duo Eddie Ward and John Paul Ward returned home from Scotland with a Bronze medal a piece from the U15’s 4 Nations.

Eddie Ward was beaten by a good English lad, Both lads having their moments in a good contested bout. Great learning experience!

John Paul Ward was beaten by Scotland in a highly questionable decision that we felt that John Paul did more than enough in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. All learning.
