Eamon O'Kane's change of heart about retiring from the ring paid off as he landed a fifth straight Ulster senior middleweight title on Thursday night.
O'Kane, now with the Immaculata club in Belfast, edged a thrilling 16-15 win over T J Hamill at the Ulster Hall.
The highly-rated Ryan Lindberg took the bantamweight title with a 24-13 success over a gutsy Mark McCullough.

Patrick Barnes outpointed Ciaran O'Neill 19-11 at light fly in the opening bout of the evening.
This was followed by a 29-11 win for Jamie Conlon over Michael Kelly at flyweight and a 15-6 triumph for Stephen Donnelly over John Cooley at featherweight.
In the heavyweight division John Sweeney was a comprehensive 20-4 winner over Finbar Doran.
It was a lot closer in the light-heavy as Lurgan lad Ryan Green of the Dockers club stormed from behind to snatch a 14-13 success over Stephen Martin of St John Bosco.
Dermot Hamill was too good for Martin Tully at light-welterweight and the classy Cacace had a 13-4 victory margin over Kevin Doherty.
