BOXER Shane Orange is tipped for glory in this weekend's ABA championships.

The Atherton lad and Tyldesley Centurions BC fighter will have an army of supporters behind him when he tilts at the schoolboys' 55kg title.

Club and school pals will be cheering on the Fred Longworth High pupil. Teacher Pete Hodkinson said: "Shane has a rgood chance of winning the title. We'll all be rooting for him.

"He is one of a batch of pupils Steve Walshaw has taken in training, giving them something to aim for outside of school."
