WALCOT'S end of season boxing show at the Premier Club in Stratton was a huge success with a large crowd enjoying 15 bouts.

The newly-crowned Miss Swindon, Emma-Jayne Slater, was on hand to present the trophies alongside the club’s main sponsor - Gibbs Surfacing.

Best Walcot boxer, judged by the club’s Junior ABA Champion Ryan Martin, was Patrick McDonagh.

The 13-year-old southpaw totally dominated his bout with Poole’s Sid Longworth, and was awarded a majority points victory by the judges.

The national schools semi-finalist landed with southpaw right jabs and straight lefts to bloody the nose of his West Country rival.

It proved to be a very good night for the McDonagh household as Patrick’s brothers Tommy and Jimmy also won.

England schoolboy Tommy McDonagh,15, landed almost every shot in the book to earn a unanimous points win over Wells’ Lewis Bremner.

Left jabs, straight rights and left hooks all found their target as the Somerset boxer bravely soaked up the punishment to hang on for the bell.

Youngest brother Jimmy enjoyed a third-round stoppage over the plucky Leon Hogan of Tiverton.

In only his second contest, the 11-year-old showed flair and aggression to overwhelm the young Devonian.

Kieran O’Donoghue was another impressive Walcot 11-year-old as he enjoyed a unanimous verdict over Marcus Preddy from King Alfred ABC.

A high work-rate from the talented Swindonian secured the win Charlie Hatfield,12, made a debut he will never forget when he overwhelmed Toby Davies of Sturminster Newton for a third round stoppage.

Fast left jabs and straight rights did most of the damage.

Another impressive debutant was 13-year-old Lawrence Rees.

The grandson of chief coach Harry Scott attacked from the outset with fast left jabs and hard rights to secure a unanimous points success.

Fittingly, his uncle, Harold Scott, was in his corner.

Completing the seventh Walcot win was Taylor Baker.

The 14-year-old landed heavily with a straight right which cut Apollo’s Jake Varley’s face badly enough for the referee to stop the contest.

There were some Walcot hard luck stories too. Seventeen-year-old Danny O’Reilly appeared to outwork Adam Steele of Bulmershe but failed to get the decision Charlie Jones,13, lost a very debatable decision to Devonport’s James Miller by a majority points verdict.

Former schoolboy champion Connor Wells lost a close and exciting bout to Levi Raymond of Stevenage ABC, while Connor’s younger brother Callum also lost a close one to Tiverton’s Sam Parkins.

Mukhta Khan dropped the decision to Reece Maccavoy of Poole, while Said Salem lost a thriller with Stevenage’s Marvin Usher.

Chief coach Scott was happy with all his boxers and said: “All the Walcot boxers gave me 100 per cent and I can’t ask for more than that.

“I must thank all our sponsors, especially Vince Gibbs of Gibbs Surfacing, our main sponsor this evening.

“And all my coaching staff and committee for their hard work.

“I would also like to thank Richard Witts of the County Ground Hotel for his continued support.”
