Berinsfield claimed four wins from a possible five when they hosted the Thames Valley Minor Minors tournament - a competition designed for boxers under 16 with less than five previous bouts.

Jordan Flynn, 12, piled on the pressure from the bell in his 36kg clash with MK Victors rival Terence Freshwater, who was never allowed to get into his stride.

Neat flurries of shots to both head and body opened up a chasm in the scoring, forcing the tired and deflated Freshwater into retirement at the end of the second round.

Mathew Readman was in equally determined mood when he took on Marlow's Henry Edmonds in the 12 year-old light flyweight category.

He was swift to impose his authority and totally dominated all three rounds as he romped to a comprehensive decision.

A succession of strategic right hands proved to be the deciding factor as Christy McDonagh, 14, started to impose his authority in the final session of his lightweight clash with Jack Slingo from the Tommy's Gym in Reading.

That sustained series of attacks was enough to deliver a unanimous verdict for the Berinsfield teenager.

Christy Joyce, 14, claimed the fourth win for the organising club, but had to come from behind after Royston rival Wayne Washington had the upper hand in the opening round of their featherweight clash.

But he bounced back after the break with neat jabs to force open gaps in his opponent's guard and showed more variety in his punching to claim a unanimous verdict.

Berinsfield stage their annual presentation evening and Hog Roast at the Wagon and Horse in Culham on Friday, July 25 (7.30pm).
