Boxing: NZ and Australia share honours

Honours were evenly shared on the second night of a tournament involving New Zealand boxers against Australian representatives at Albany.

The New Zealand invitation team won three of the six encounters against New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory opponents to give them the tournament win 6-5.

The three NZ winners were junior featherweight Savantha Meak, lightweight Jamie Gardner and women's middleweight Dawn Chalmers. Two NZ Commonwealth Games "box-offs" resulted in wins for Wellington heavyweight Mokai Paraha and Auckland middleweight Kahukura Bentson.
