Lansbury Amateur Boxing Club’s Terry Conroy suffered a narrow semi-final loss in the England Elite National Championships last week.
The 20-year-old middleweight lost on points to Fairbairn’s Joshua Gustave in the last four of the competition.
Conroy had produced an accomplished display in the quarter-finals earlier in the day to defeat Lamin Conteh.
The Lansbury boxer won by points to reach the semi-finals, but couldn’t overcome Gustave and missed out on the final.

Conroy couldn’t hit the heights of his last-eight win, and appeared to be fatigued after his earlier bout with Conteh.
Nevertheless, it was a fine showing from the Lansbury ace and the club plan to have more members in action soon.
