IABA News

Irish squad and staff in Italy

Irish boxing has claimed eight medals – two gold, four silver and two bronze – in European competition this month.

Wicklow’s Daina Moorehouse secured European Youth gold in Italy yesterday and Dundalk’s Amy Broadhurst, a former European Youth champion, won European U/22 gold on April 1 in Romania.

Dean Clancy, Evelyn Igharo, Dearbhla Rooney and Aoife Burke reached their respective finals and Lauren Kelly and Jude Gallagher took home European Youth bronze.

The haul earned Irish boxing a top ten finish in the medals table in both outings.

Meantime, most European competitions are doubling up as joint male and female tournaments this year for the first time.

The next stop is the European Schoolboy and Schoolgirls Championships in Albena, Bulgaria from May 21 to 30.

The European Women’s Elite Championships begin in Sofia, Bulgaria on June 4.
