Islington Boxing Club had two juniors compete on the Repton ABC junior show held at York Hall, Bethnal Green on Saturday (November, 6).
First up was Troy O'Connor (47kgs - 2009 - age 11) in a skills contest against A Abdul (Repton ABC).
O'Connor performed well and the Islington youngster has a busy few weeks ahead as he is pencilled to take part in another two skills contests and a scoring bout before the end of the month.
Dylan Gibson (43kgs - 2009 - age 12) put behind the disappointment of losing in the London Schools Championship semi-finals to the eventual National Champion back in September by defeating a National semi-finalist in the year group above (2008).
Gibson, guesting for Repton ABC in a team match against Sunderland ABC, defeated Blake Sherington (Sunderland) via a 3-2 split decision in a competitive and close contest.
