Lindberg set for Melbourne flight
Ulster Amateur Middleweight champion Eamon O'Kane
Eamon O'Kane beat Eamonn Corbett in the middleweight final
Immaculata youngster Ryan Lindberg won the best boxer award at the Ulster Amateur Boxing Finals on Thursday night at the Ulster Hall.

Lindberg looks certain for a place at the Commonwealth Games after beating Irish champion Carl Frampton 21-15 in the flyweight final.

Noel Monteith's hopes of boxing in his third games seem over after his 13-12 lightweight defeat by Kevin Doherty.

Other winners included Eamon O'Kane, Thomas Hamill and Shaun McKim.

Eleven titles were up for grabs at the Ulster Amateur Championships bill but only seven will be named on the Northern Ireland team for the Games in Melbourne.

McKim beat Oliver Plunkett teenager Eamonn Finnegan 26-11 to retain his bantamweight title.

Dungiven man Eamon O'Kane had to produce his best to beat Eamon Corbett 15-12 in an absorbing middleweight final.

O'Kane looks likely to earn one of the Commonwealth slots and should be joined in Melbourne by Thomas Hamill who outclassed Thomas Duddy 28-8.

Immaculata's Ciaran Crossan, despite only emerging from the intermediate ranks this year, looks also well-placed to compete in Australia after beating Holy Family's Damien Carroll 26-7.

Holy Trinity's Conall Carmichael will also had hope to get the nod for the Commonwealths after his 14-4 win over Newcastle's Kalum King in the Super heavyweight final.

Barry McCafferty beat Benny Hargan 24-10 in the featherweight decider the two stoppages of the night were provided by Cavan's David Nevin and Sligo man Alan Reynolds.

Nevin stopped Michael Trinity's Michael McLaughlin in the third round of their light welterweight final while Reynolds, competing for the Dockers club, needed only four rounds before his contest with Martin Mallon was halted.

The selection committee is to meet on Friday to decide the Commonwealth Games travelling party.

Brian Gillen (Holy Trinity) and All Saints' Dermott Hamill are hoping to get box-offs as they aren't in finals.

If the pair get their wish, they will fight the Ulster winners, probably before Christmas.
