Team Ireland has won a total of 12 medals, 5 of them gold, in the Golden Belt-Nicolae Linca tournament in Tagru Mures, Romania.
Two of those golds, for 48kg Shannon Sweeney and 63kg Amy Broadhurst, came in Friday’s evening session. Both boxers claimed their victories over home contenders.
In the evening session, 57kg Adam Hession received a walkover from his Belgian opponent, which meant he topped the podium.

Tokyo bronze medallist Aidan Walsh gave a walkover to his German opponent and comes home with 71kg silver.
Bestowed with their bronze medals today were 57kg Jennifer Lehane, 48kg Ricky Nesbitt, 63.5kg Dean Clancy, 75kg Gabriel Dossen and 80kg Kelyn Cassidy.
