🥊 Kerry County Boxing Championship 🥊

We had a fantastic day today at the Kerry County Boxing Championships in Sliabh Luachra Boxing Club, Castleisland.

The standard of boxing on display was excellent, with great skill and sportsmanship shown by all competitors throughout the day. A huge thank you to all the clubs, boxers, coaches, officials, volunteers, and supporters who helped make the championship such a success.

Well done to everyone who stepped through the ropes — Kerry boxing is in great hands 👊💚💛

A massive thank you to Chris from Tipperary who judged on the day and also brought boxers for matches — we really appreciate the support.

Thanks to our very own Tommy Kelliher for refereeing the contests and keeping everything running smoothly in the ring.

Huge thanks to our County Board officers — Niamh, (keeping us all on our toes ) Mairéad, John, Jennifer — for all the hard work before, during, and after the championships.

A special mention to Anthony on timekeeping (he’s definitely a keeper 😉), Breda our medic for looking after everyone’s safety, and great to have Johno and his boxer on hand as well.Pat from Tralee for souring the doctor every year ..

Thank you to all officials who gave their time on the day, and finally a big shout-out to Trish of Sliabh Luachra who kept everyone fed and watered — absolutely amazing as always.

Days like this don’t happen without a brilliant team 👊💚💛

Onto to Munster next weekend 🥊🥊🥊🏆
