HARWICH Boxing Club kicked-off the new season with two of their members in action at St Benedict’s Catholic College, in Colchester.

Thirteen-year-old Reece Brundle made his debut in a skills contest against Alfie Fleming, from the Chadwell St Mary club.

Brundle improved as this match-up progressed, gaining valuable experience over this non-decision three-rounder.

Tommie Smith, 17, posted a good final round, but left it too late in his contest with namesake Harry Smith, from Smallholdings ABC.

His opponent took the verdict on points.
