Berinsfield's ring of glory

Host fighters ruled the roost when Berinsfield staged their final 19-bout tournament of the campaign at the Abbey Sports Centre.

o There were no fewer than nine wins for the Oxfordshire club.

Ian Jenkins, of Berinsfield, and Sean Richardson served up a four-round feast as the Slough man held the early advantage.

But the Welshman's more precise counter-punching style started to reap dividends and he edged ahead and claim a unanimous verdict.

Josh Lock made full use of his extra height to get behind the jab and dominate the final two sessions for a clear win over Finchley's Sammy McCarthy.

Jamie Jones proved more disciplined and precise in his work to always have the better of Blackbird Leys opponent Angus Lowe.

Mattie Redman never allowed Conor Hopkins to get into his stride and had built up a comprehensive lead before referee Jack Wilson stopped it early in the final period.

Jay Ede's greater accuracy was decisive from the start as he easily outfoxed the taller Lewsey southpaw Jack Carter.

Christy Collins built up a decisive lead to claim the first two rounds against taller Sudbury rival Mark Reeve, whose best work came too late to have any impact on the decision.

Christy McDonagh delivered more power in his punches to always maintain the edge over Finchley rival Jabber Butt.

Tom McDonagh's more fluent and accurate punches proved the deciding factor as he gained a deserved unanimous decision over Epsom's Kieron Hale.

Danny Morris landed the better combinations to edge out Windrush Valley's Rhys Grant on a split decision.

Jordan Flynn and Billy Beer squared up for a pulsating battle with the advantage changing hands during three absorbing rounds.

But it was the Newham youngster who just had the edge during a gripping finale to get the nod on a close split-decision.

Will Healey rallied strongly at the end, but it came too late to erode the early advantage built up by Sudbury's Sam Justice.

Will Joyce was embroiled in a tremendous toe-to-toe battle before being edged out by Newham's Jamie Austin on a majority verdict.

Matt Rallings roved game but lacked the strength to match Thames Valley rival Kyle Andrews.

After setting the early pace Frank Morgan faded in the final session to allow Penhill Boxing Club's Gerard McDonagh to increase his lead and claim a unanimous verdict.
