Action & Results

- Southern Counties Senior Novices - Canterbury, Kent
West Hill
Boxers, Dave Warren U-69 Kg and Fred Phelps U-75 Kg were
two of many who entered the Southern Counties Novice ABA's
held in Canterbury, Kent.
Dave still
not 100% fit after suffering from a chest infection was
first on - he had hoped to ease himself into the tournament
gently while returning to full fitness, but no such luck
unfortunately, as he came up against a very worthy opponent
in Adam Cracknell of Woking. Dave battled gamely but was
unable to get the better of Adam who boxed well to take
a majority points decision.
Adam boxed
a 2nd time later the same day and produced another fine
performance to reach the Area final, which he lost to Shane
McGuigan.
Dave and
Adam are pictured below.
Fred was
paired against Liam Mattingley of Golden Ring in what turned
out to be a very tough contest. Fred boxed superbly well
and took the unanimous points victory against a tough and
determined opponent who seemed to walk through everything
thrown at him. Liam having suffered a standing count in
the 1st should be commended for his determination and strong
resolve.
Fred had
to box for a second time later in the day - his opponent,
Adam Dunkley of Moulescombe who had earlier received a bye.
Fred produced his life time best performance to push Dunkley,
seven years his senior all the way and only just lost by
the tightest of majority decisions. Adam, a true sportsman,
as are all the lads from Moulescombe - an excellent attitude
installed into them by their coaching staff no doubt, was
full of praise for Fred's performance.
Fred and
Liam are pictured below.

- South Norwood and Victory Dinner Show
Club captain
Barry Buchanan (pictured below) was the only West Hill representative
to appear on the South Norwood and Victory show but made
an impact all the same by securing an excellent majority
points win over New Addington's G Gardiner.
It was an
excellent result for Barry, considering he was given a standing
count in the 2nd round when having to stop mid action after
ripping a shoulder muscle in his favoured left arm. Asked
if he wish to retire Barry refused to give in to the pain
and dug deep to pull off an amazing result considering his
injury.
An
inspirational performance!
The "Crouching
Tiger" (Barry) will reach an important milestone on
Saturday 19th May, when he will contest his 50th bout.
Barry's
enthusiasm remains as intense as ever, as does his commitment
to both his training and his captaincy of the club.
Every one
involved with the West Hill would like to congratulate Barry
on reaching his 50th milestone and would further encourage
him to push hard toward the his 100th - Well done Bazza!
11/05/2007
- Whitstable ABC Show
Friday 11th
May and the club took 3 boys to the Whitstable ABC show
in Kent - All 3 boxed.
First to
box was Jake Towse who won a bruising battle with Stacy's
Michael Andrews by unanimous points - It was an excellent
all action contest.
