Reece Russell, Mia Neill and Thomas Maxwell all weighed into the recent championships, which were held in Banbridge Boxing Club.

Mia Neill won the title at 48kg Girl 1.

Reece Russell reached the semi-final and was unlucky not to go through as he has already beaten his opponent but there was a mistake with the draw.
