Garnock Valley Boxing Club held their annual boxing show in the Walker Hall, Kilbirnie, to a sold out audience who didn’t go home disappointed with our boxers’ display, either it being a fight or an exhibition bout.

Firstly we had wee Conner McDonald making his ring debut against Ross Clementon from Orbistoun. Conner for a first timer boxed superbly and won his first fight on points.

We also had another kid making his ring debut, Ross Grey, who boxed Kyle Ritchie from Argo, and who won, rsc round 1.

Craig Millar made his first appearance back in over a year out the game when he boxed Jamie Kerr from Irvine Vynesburgh, with Jamie winning on points.
