Thirty three new Irish champions were crowned at the Open Senior Cadet Championships at the National Stadium this evening.
The finals bring the curtain down on a journey which began at County, Munster and National level and will continue on mainland Europe in May.
The IABA are using the tournament as part of their selection process for the European Male and Female Junior Championships in Romania in May/June.
Dom O’Rourke, President of the IABA, congratulated all finalists and competitors at the 2019 competition.
“Over the last number of weekends we’ve seen some fantastic competition from our top young prospects at the National Stadium. The boxers, coaches and clubs and all concerned deserved enormous credit for their contribution to a fantastic sporting occasion,” he said.
Irish amateur boxing is proudly sponsored by Liffey Crane.
