Shazad Aslam Aslam, 19, from Peterborough v Josh Kozak from Eastgate ABC at 75kg: In another special elite 3 x 3s Shaz had to dig deep and use his skillful back foot punching to claim a quality points win over a much more experienced front foot fighter.

Top of the bill was Brian Lawless, 20, from Peterborough v Dominic Burrell from Wildside BC at 81kg: Another tough bout with both fighters using their experience to draw each other to make mistakes.
