Burton boxes his way into a National semi-final, plus the latest from local rugby union, darts and golf
Up-and-coming Top Yard boxer Jim Burton (13) is through to the semi-finals of the National Schoolboy Championships.
Burton won his quarter-final at 52kg against Reon Powell from Croydon in Feltham, West London in devastating style forcing a standing eight count and then a stoppage after a classy front-foot performance.
Top Yard twins Amos and Andra Hoyland were in quarter-final action, but failed to progress. Both had tough bouts with Amos unlucky to not have got the decision in his favour. Andra put in a respectable performance against the competition favourite in what was also a very close bout.
RUGBY UNION Captain Kian Herring netted a hat-trick of tries as Peterborough Rugby Club Under 14 boys finished their season with a 31-27 win over Sleaford at Fengate.
Malley Ainley added two tries while conversions were kicked by Harry Rickard and George Long as the team delivered an excellent all-round performance.
The match took place during the club’s President’s Weekend celebrations.
