FOUR Guernsey boxers who are competing in the National ABA Championships next weekend came through unscathed against the Western Counties Select on Friday night.
That was the main concern for the Amalgamated Boys Club head coach Graham Guilbert in their last dinner boxing show of the season at St Pierre Park.
The island's four current Western Counties champions, Matt Jennings, Callum Pearson, Bradley Watson and Gage Demore, are fighting in Sheffield next Saturday.
But Jennings was never going to get hurt in the St Pierre Park show because his opponent, Greg Welling, failed to turn up, while the other three picked wins and, more importantly, were not hurt.
'I was really concerned about that, I had a sleepless night last night,' said Guilbert. 'It's worked out all right. Apart from Jennings, they've had a workout for next week. If they all perform like that next week I'll be happy.'
