WEST HAM hopes Chris Smith and Charlie Hoy are looking forward to the Junior ABA national finals at the end of the month after the semi-finals held at Earlsfield BC gym, south London on Saturday.

Chris Smith moved through the southern semi-finals, winning on points by a 13-5 margin against Anthony Collins of Sydenham.

The taller Smith used his height and reach advantages to good effect, working well behind his jab to take the victory and his place in the National Finals.

He will be joined by club mate Charlie Hoy (pictured above) who received a walkover into the finals against the northern area winners over the weekend of May 30/31 at Everton Park Sports Centre, Liverpool.

WEST HAM'S Oliver Hunt was in winning form on the Newham club tournament at Circus Tavern, Purfleet, on Friday night when he took the points verdict against Alan Moore of St Pauls, Hull in a good contest.
