With five finalists, V.U.C. collected five titles to win the Boxing Shield easily. The title-winners were:
| Featherweight: | D. A. Muir |
| Bantamweight: | M. Parr (O.U.). Most scientific boxer, |
| Lightweight: | P. J. Sheehan |
| Middleweight: | T. Mullinder |
| Welterweight: | Kearns (C.U.C.) |
| Lightheavyweight: | A. McLeod |
| Heavyweight: | C.B. Cornish |
The outstanding fight was that between Parr and D.G. Anderson (V.U.C.) in the preliminaries. Anderson fought exceptionally well, but Parr's extra experience told in the end.
P. J. Sheehan's performance was meritorious. In the morning he came straight from the rowing to win his preliminary bout.
These results are a tribute to the energy and keeness of the Club's young coach Ken Coveney, title-winner for V.U.C. two years ago.
