MARCH Boxing Club have two members through to the next round of the Golden Gloves finals in Romford on Saturday, February 13.
Charley Stevens proved too good for Ipswich's Barry McKeon in the 59kg category in the Eastern Counties Schoolboy finals at Sudbury and Danny Hedges received a bye.
Although Mckeon, a strong lad, came looking for Stevens, it was March lad who had
all the answers to take a points verdict.
Conor Crosby started slowly in his bout against Southend's Polkinghall but did much better in rounds two and three to make it a very close contest but the Southend lad got the verdict on points.
Brother Luke Crosby lost the first two rounds against Harwich's Dorah but staged a remarkable comeback in the last round but it came just too late to take the verdict and he lost on points.
March's Ambrose Draper also lost a very close bout against Centurion's Green on points.
