Team Ireland will be taking home at least ten bronze medals from the European Schoolboy Championships in Valcea, Romania.

Ireland’s talented young prospects won 10 of their quarter-finals today. Brooklyn Saunders, Jake Charles, Cahir Gormley, Olympic BC pair Patrick Sweeney and Patrick Donovan, Cain Lewis, Eoghan Lavin, John Ward, Sean Walsh and Jordan Ward had their hands raised in victory to ensure podium finishes.

Michael Donoghue,Cory Byrne-Dunbar, Shamie McDonagh, James Whelan, Aaron McElligott, Darragh Farrell and Thomas McDonnell gave fine accounts of themselves this afternoon and early evening.

Today’s haul of ten medals matches the joint record-breaking collection of the Irish teams at the European Schoolboy Championships at Anapa 2012 and Dublin 2013 in terms of quantity.

The class of 2017 will now be looking to upgrade their guaranteed bronze to at least silver in the semi-finals on Monday.

The semi-finals and finals are slated for decision on Monday and Tuesday in Romania.

Enormous credit to the managerial and coaching staff of Peter O’Donnell, Stephen McElhinney,  Paddy Gallagher and Liam Brereton who saw the Boys in Green through 17 tough quarter-finals in today.

Meanwhile, Irish boxing has now won 89 medals at this level since the inaugural European Schoolboy Championships at Rome 2003 where Beijing 2008 and Rio 2016 Olympians John Joe Joyce and David Oliver Joyce and current WBA World super-bantamweight champion Carl Frampton finished in podium positions, along with David Joyce (gold), Keith Boyle and John McDonagh.
