The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921

Church (O.U.), 10 st. 5 lb, v. Conningham (V.U.C.), 10 st. 5 lb

Church (O.U.), 10 st. 5 lb, v. Conningham (V.U.C.), 10 st. 5 lb.

This fight proved a good, open "go."both contestants giving a good exhibition of boxing. Church has more experience than Conningham, and showed up very well in the in-fighting. Conning-ham's footwork was good. During the second round Conningham landed a beautiful backhand to Church's face, which caused Church to "do a big think;" but Conningham didn't follow up his advantage, and before the close of the round Church had covered up matters. Church was given the decision.
