Daniel and Jason Kyne will be aiming to set up a shot at a hat-trick for the Celtic Eagles BC at the National Senior finals in Dublin on Friday night.
Gytis Lisinskas is also in action for the Galway club at the National Stadium.
The Connacht unit, along with the Crumlin BC, has the highest representation in the weekend’s finals and Pawel Popko is anticipating an eventful evening at the home of Irish boxing.
“They’ve boxed very well so far and I am full of confidence,” said the Celtic Eagles BC head coach.
The Kyne brothers meet Dublin and Limerick light-welter and welter Senan Kelly (Crumlin BC) and Paddy Donovan (Our Lady of Lourdes BC) and Lisinskas is in against Dean Scullion (Loughshore BC) in the 87th and final bout of the tournament at super heavy.
Jason has won three bouts so far in Dublin, Daniel two and Lisinskas beat Kilkenny’s Aidan O’Neill in the last four.
The Galway trio have all won Connacht and Celtic Box Cup titles this year.
“We have a plan for the guys. We know how to box them (opponents). We have a tough fight against Patrick Donovan. He is a good boxer. Hopefully, we are going to get the three titles,” added Popko.
Meanwhile, Kilkenny light-heavy Kevin Kehoe reckons he’ll be in a place he wants to be in this weekend.
“I’m looing forward to the final Friday night. It’s where we planned to be from the start of the tournament, can’t wait,” said Kehoe who meets Cork’s Tommy Hyde for 81kg gold.
World Youth medallist Gabriel Dossen and Caitlin Fryers are also between the ropes on Friday evening, with Dossen slated to meet Dundalk’s Christopher Mulligan in the middleweight class.
Mulligan is one of two Clann Naofa BC athletes through to the business end of the tournament along with Shauna O’Callaghan.
Finals weigh-ins – 8am to 9am and 12pm to 1pm at the National Stadium.
