| Moment of the Match | | | | | |
These two opened the season with a tight match and round 2 was just as intense. Once again Gerry Cooney failed to finish an opponent he had down and it resulted in a 6-6 deadlock heading into the final bout. Things looked grim for the Punching Bags, but the much maligned Paddy Ryan fought like a caged animal, surviving a 2nd round knockdown and edging David Izon to secure the upset for the homestanding Punching Bags. What makes Ryan's heroics so improbable is that he doubled his season point total in the win as he was dead last in the league with only 2 points from 7 matches for his team. The Punching Bags are hoping to use this win to improve steadily declining attendance in their cavernous arena in the second half of the season.
