Having recovered
from his cut eye, just in time for the Senior ABA championships
Barry Buchanan suffered more disappointment when he was
narrowly beaten by Mark Coombes in the Southern Counties
1/2 final after putting in a master class performance that
many ringside thought worthy of victory and with Jake Towse
bowing out of the CYPs National championship at the 1/2
final stage the final boxing action of the year for the
West Hill team was to be on our own home show at the end
of May.
"Home
Show May 2010"
Some of
the club's new kids on the block got their chance to shine
on our final boxing outing of the year, our home show held
at the Bexhill Athletic Centre.
The likes
of Jamie Lennard, Jordan Panice, Josh Barnes and Carmine
di Paolo all made their debuts and all passed their first
test with flying colours.
19 year
old Jamie Lennard was singled out for particular praise
- at 117 Kg Jamie is uniquely light on his feet, however
it was the manner in which he came storming back against
the vastly more experienced Asa Pearson of Horsham ABC that
really impressed. Having endured a standing count Jamie
bit hard on his gum shield and was on the verge of transforming
the bout before the final bell put paid to his gallant come
back, eventually losing narrowly on a majority points decision.
Young Rhys
Verlander 13 years shone once again and boxed very neatly
to secure both victory and the "Best bout of the night"
award.

Selsey
Camping Trip
We recently
took a party of 62 camping to Bun Leisure Selsey near Chichester
for a weekend of relaxation, team building and general fun!

The facilities
were excellent and although the weather wasn't the best,
we all had a great time. The trip almost didn't take place
as due to the popularity of the trip we were left short
of transport and if it hadn't been for Hendy Hire stepping
in too save the day by loaning us a minibus we would have
been left disappointed - A
big thanks to Steve and Hendy Hire for saving the day.
We shall
honour the trip with a full update in due course so if you
have any photos of the event please put them on a CD and
hand them to Graham or email them to info@westhill-boxing.com
