Team Ireland experienced contrasting fortunes at the Pavlyukov Youth Memorial in Anapa, Russia today, with Gabriel Dossen advancing but Jason Harty bowing out to Kazakhstan.

World Youth bronze medallist Dossen, pictured, progressed to the last-eight after a hard-earned but deserved victory over a home favourite.

The Olympic BC welter beat Russia’s European Junior champion Ivan Stupen on a split decision at the Black Sea Port to join Tommy Hyde in the quarter-finals.

The Galway teen will face an Armenian opponent on St Patrick’s Day for at least bronze.

Limerick welter Harty was beaten by Kazakh Aldivr Turnsinay on a unanimous verdict over three, three minute rounds.

“It was a fantastic performance from Gabriel and a brave performance from Jason against a quality opponent,” said Irish coach Billy McClean who is working Ireland’s corner in Anapa with Fergal McKenna.

Irish captain Aaron McKenna and Patrick Donovan, a World Junior silver medallist, are in action tomorrow.
