Congratulation to Sophie on receiving this award , Always nice when one of our boxers is recognised for their hard work, Thank you to Tommy O Sullivan for the nomination.

Thanks to the HUB Boxing Club and Cloncastle boxing club for bringing their boxers in for some good sparring tonight.

Thanks to StPaulsboxingclub Nenagh for having four of our boxers on the Bridget Orr memorial show always a great night.
Kyle boxed a familiar foe from the host club and after a great bout didnt get the decision but the bout won the fight of the night award.
Dylan have a great account of himself in his first bout on the road and was unlucky to lose a close split decision.
Oliver Plachta won a good fight against a bigger opponent with his shot selection,fast feet and excellent defense being the diffrence across the three rounds.
Callum Lysaght closed the show for us against a big hitting opponent from Nenagh. Callum continued his good run of form using good combinations and slick head movement on way to running out a deserved points winner.
Well done to boxers and coaches tonight.

Molly Boland is the new under 19 Irish champion.
This title came about from the great derermination entusiasm and hard work Molly has shown us all in the club in the last few years.Well done champ.
Also well done to Oliver and Callum who both performed brilliantly in this championship and a lot more to come from them.
This is the fouth irish champion for our club this season well done to everyone concerned...

Thanks to the lads from Urlingford who travelled tonight for some top sparring. Tough rounds with good friends.Well done to all the boxers.

Mixed results from the under 19s today.
Oliver Plachta won 4 1 against a top boxer from Dublin,in an excellent tactical bout that was close thoughout with Ollie upping the pace in the final round to ensure he progressed to next weeks last four.
A super performance from Callum Lysaght beaten 4-1 on points against a tall and elusive boxer from Donegal. After two very close opening rds Cal found himself down on 3 cards and had to go chasing the fight which suited his opponent but thats boxing for you.
Oliver boxes next week in a super packed last four in the 55k division
Molly Boland will weigh in next week also to claim her first national title not how she would have wanted it but any Irish youth title is a bit special.
Well done to each of you guys..

Long but enjoyable and competitive weekend at the Neilstown box cup.
Summary 9 entered 5 finalist 3 champions but that doesnt sum up some of the brilliant performances by those that won and those that didnt across the weeken..fine margins and close call all round.
Well done to our squad and our three champions Callum Lysaght Donagh Gleeson and Bobby Doherty.
Callum with three wins on three days is worth a shoutout but as alluded to great skill and pride shown by all our boxers that stepped into the ring..Well done guys.

Neilstown box cup team weighed in and reasy for three days of competition.
Draw later and boxing starts this evening.
