Last in the ring for Skerton was senior boxer Sean Coxon who was up against home favourite Matty Walsh.
The first round started at a fast pace and it was the Leigh boxer who sat on his stool at the end of the first the happier man.
Coxon however started the second much more focused and clearly took the round before rocking his man with some heavy blows in the third.

One fighter was going to leave disappointed and it was Coxon who lost a close split decision.
This brought another successful weekend to a close for a club that have again been recognised by Boxing England with an outstanding achievement award.
The club has won 86 of its 102 bouts so far this season with coaches Paul Fielding and John Varey picking up the accolade at the recent North West championships in Manchester.
