The Rathkeale BC super-heavyweight beat Dmitry Makarevich on a unanimous decision in the last bout on the program at the 18 nation tournament.

Earlier today, Regan Buckley went out on a unanimous decision to Nodari Barbaigze of Belarus and Eugene McKeever was edged on a split by Barbaigaize’s compatriot Yauheni Marachauk in a bout the Irish corner of Michael Carruth and Eoin Pluck believed could have gone either way.

Irish squad

Team Ireland kicked off their European Junior Championships campaign with three wins out of four in Anapa, Russia today.

Irish female captain Leanne Murphy and Niamh Fay advanced to the last eight on 4-1 splits, and John McConnell, who won on a 3-2 split, is back in action tomorrow in the last 16.

Rachel Lawless produced a big performance versus Italy’s Elaine Ayari in the 50kg class but the split verdict went against her.

Irish team managers Anna Moore and Joe Hennigan hailed the Irish quartet at the Black Sea holiday resort.

“All four boxed their hearts out today and gave it absolutely everything,” said Moore. “All the hard training is paying off as they were all brilliant today.”

Ireland will have another busy day in the ring tomorrow with five athletes in action in Anapa.
