The U15 competition began on 8th August with a total of 162 athletes competing to clinch one of 34 weight category national titles that were up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p>Impressively this was Reuben\u2019s debut in the cadet championships and was stepping up an age group to face a strong opponent in North Down\u2019s Yousef Aldhifan.<\/p>\n<p>In a battle of two southpaws, the difference was Reuben\u2019s ability to step inside the danger zone, use his lead-back hand effectively, and control the mid-range exchanges. He showed outstanding form throughout and executed the game plan to perfection. A brilliant bout and deservedly he took the decision 3-2.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fonacab.com\/drivers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fonaINSTORY2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"358\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Huge congratulations to Reuben, the team of coaches at St Pauls, and all the supporters who travelled down to make it a memorable night for the club.<\/p>\n<p>  Do you have something to say on this issue?
