WEST HAM duo Myles Cousins and Charlie Hoy travelled to Aldershot on Saturday for the quarter-finals of the NACYP championships and boosted their bid for national honours with fine displays.

Cousins won on points against Joey Avenell of Harwich by a comfortable 15-5 margin.

The West Hammer allowed his opponent to attack and countered with straight shots, putting his unorthodox style to good use.

A right hook from Cousins in the last round dropped Avenell to the canvas and he needed the respite of an eight count before surviving until the final bell.

Charlie Hoy won on the outclassed rule (15 points in front) in the third round against Ricky Leach of the Isle of Thanet.

It quickly became clear that Hoy was a class apart from his opponent landing at will with a varied range of punches.

Gallant Leach tried to survive, but the whistle was blown in the third round to signal the end of the contest with Hoy 15 clear points in front.

On the Sevenoaks show on Saturday night, West Hammer Billy Andrews won on points against the previously unbeaten Taylor Sharp of Eltham.

However, clubmate Mark Ellis lost on a close majority to Ali Ahmen of Fulham and Brunswick.
