Tommy Casey and St Francis BC club coaches at the Stadium tonight.
Frankie Cleary capped a memorable and historic November for the Olympic BC – Gabriel Dossen, also of the Olympic BC, claimed bronze at the AIBA World Youths in Russia this week – after winning the National Senior, formerly Intermediate, 60kg title at the National Stadium tonight.
The Galway lightweight beat Dylan Duffy in a cracking three-rounder at the home of Irish boxing, his third victory en route to gold in Dublin.
Former AIBA World Junior champion Ciara Ginty, a Youth Olympics silver medallist, also won. Boxing at light-welter, Ginty, of Geesala BC fame, decisioned Nicole Moorehouse of the Clonard club.
Ciara Ginty
The meeting with Moorhouse was Ginty’s first Championship outing in 18 months because she was doing her Leaving Cert. Coach Pat McDonagh hailed her display.
“Ciara performed very well, she kept it long and rangy and we’re absolutely delighted with the win. Nicole also performed well tonight and it was a great final,” he said.
Earlier this evening, Ashley Browne denied Cork’s Douglas BC a flyweight and bantam double after beating Shakira Coonghe, whose Duhallow team-mate, Thomas McCarthy, beat Jason Smith, while Tommy Casey edged Shane Flavin on a split.
Conor Ivors, Tony McGlynn and Brian Kennedy also divided the judges in their favour versus Thomas O’Toole, Kelyn Cassidy and Ryan Donnelly, while McGlynn’s Crumlin BC team-mate Leona Houlihan completed a double for the Dubliners on a walkover.
Eugene McKeever, Carol Coughlan, Conor Kearney, Emma Flannery, Amanda Coughlan, Saibh Greene, Conni Vaughan had their hands raised in victory.
Cormac Long beat Marcin Skalski and Martin Keenan completed a double for the Rathkeale BC versus Damien Sullivan in the 99th and final bout of the tournament to seal an excellent night for Limerick.
