Alloa Boxing Club celebrate 'outstanding' weekend, bagging four gold medals at the Eastern District Championships.
Five fighters from the club competed at Grangemouth Athletics Stadium, with William Boyle, Eva Hynd, Leon Hutchison, and Jamie MacDonald all bringing home top honours.
William Boyle, competing in the 65kg category, secured his place in Sunday's final after a unanimous decision victory in the semi-final against an opponent from Edinburgh Boxing Club.
This victory followed his recent triumph at the Caledonia Box Cup.
On Sunday, Boyle faced a strong opponent from Beath Boxing Club.
The Alloa boxer managed to clinch his second consecutive medal with a 4-1 split decision victory.
Eva Hynd, who took silver at the Caledonia Box Cup, retained her title from last year with a unanimous decision win over Ruby Price of Beath Boxing Club.
Leon Hutchison, fresh from his win at the Caledonia Box Cup, also retained his title.
Hutchison faced Robbie Nielsen of Beath Boxing Club and came away with a 3-2 split decision win in a close contest.
Senior boxer Jamie MacDonald, competing in the middleweight division, delivered a standout performance.
In the novice category for this year’s Eastern District Championships, MacDonald dominated the opening round, and landed a decisive blow in the second round, dropping his opponent and forcing the referee to stop the contest.
Xander Rooney, making his debut for the club in his semi-final, put on a valiant effort against a more experienced opponent.
Although he didn’t win, his performance was noted as brave, and he is expected to be back in the gym preparing for future contests.
Overall, the club was thrilled with the results, proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all five boxers.
Boyle, Hynd, and Hutchison, all competing in the open class category, were particularly commended for their achievements.
A spokesperson for the club said: "The club could not be prouder of all five boxers.
"Everyone is training hard and already looking ahead to the next show on April 25 at Alloa town hall."
The success at the Eastern District Championships has set a high benchmark for the club as they gear up for their next competition.
