Brandon Geoghegan of Sacred Heart, Dublin, and contesting at 50kg, opened Ireland’s account in Bout 3, with a decisive 5-0 win over Amin Wahbi of Israel. The judges scored the bout: 28:29, 28:29, 28:29, 27:30

Team Co-Captain, 57kg John O’Donoghue of Olympic L, took on Israel’s Shrago Shon in his first bout of the competition, and recorded Round 1 RSC to progress. The next bout, at 60kg, saw Portlaoise BC’s Edward Harty, box Topalios Petros of Hungary. It wasn’t to be on this occasion for the Laois boxer, who put in a fine performance. The final scores were: 27:30, 28:29, 28:29, 28:29, 28:29.

Rocco Dempsey, of Avona BC, Dublin, was the final Team Ireland boxer between the ropes on the opening day, and faced Hungarian opposition.
