Split points decisions<br />
go against junior boxers<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
TWO WOOLSTON junior<br />
boxers have had a taste of<br />
representing New Zealand as<br />
part of a development squad<br />
which competed against<br />
fellow cadets and juniors from<br />
Australia at Canberra last week.<br />
Ryley Sutherland and Hamuera<br />
Tainui were both part of a<br />
New Zealand development team<br />
that also got to train at the Australian<br />
Institute of Sport during<br />
their stay.<br />
While both Ryley and Hamuera<br />
lost their respective bouts<br />
by split points decisions, it is<br />
hoped the opportunity will keep<br />

them in the sport and offer a<br />
pathway for promising boxers as<br />
they get older and push towards<br />
the senior ranks.<br />
The pair backed up from recent<br />
success at the South Island<br />
Golden Glove titles by defeating<br />
their North Island equivalents to<br />
claim national honours in July.<br />
Hamuera claimed the 66kg<br />
junior title, while Ryley won the<br />
48kg cadet title.<br />
Both have close family ties in<br />
the sport. Hamuera’s father and<br />
uncle both boxed for Woolston,<br />
while Sutherland has been<br />
coached by his father since the<br />
age of nine.<br />
