THE All Blacks travelled the long road to Monkstown Boxing Club in Dublin on Saturday 16 November.
Representing Down/Armagh for the All Blacks camp was Sé Clarke, and Nathan Scott.
Sé boxed Jamie Walsh from the Ballybrack club. Walsh was a tidy, and well-schooled boxer, throwing punches in bunches, but young Clarke with his right cross, his best punch, frequently found its target.
It was a terrific contest to watch.
Nathan Scott boxed Zues Haughran in another thriller.
Haughran was a formidable opponent, and Nathan used all his crispy, neat combinations to ensure a brilliant exhibition of boxing at its best.
Due to a lack of judges, all 36 contests were exhibitions, however this did not distract from a wonderful day of boxing in the fantastic facilities offered by the Monkstown club.
