New Saints Boxing Club's return to competition continues to impress with more and more picking up impressive results.
Two boxers from the St Neots' club reached the finals of the MTK Global Box Cup tournament held in Cumbria.
Fourteen- year-old John Doe secured gold in the 50kg schools' final by beating Charlie Gentle of the Smallholdings club in Kent on a unanimous decision.
Bill Davis, his 15-year-old team-mate, had to settle for silver in the 60kg junior final, losing after three gruelling rounds to three-time Scottish national champion Leo Church of Dumbarton.
He was consoled by earning the bout of the day distinction, however.
Charntay Naidoo secured her first title after beating Shakira Purchase of Taunton via unanimous decision.
The 15-year-old becomes National Junior Development Champion.
