A hard weekend for Tralee Boxing Club, as three boxers travelled to the National Stadium for All Irelands semi/finals.
John, Mike, Patrick McCarthy, along with Tommy & Noel (coaches} took the long road on Friday evening last for weigh in & boxing early Saturday morning.
For one reason or another, none of the three boxed their best as all three were beaten. Roll on the Senior Cadets in June/July.
On Sunday morning Christopher Mongans & Shane Coffey with coach Doniejack headed for Limerick for Munster Finals.
Christopher retained his Munster won last year beating Tommy O Brien of Vikings BC. Abbyfeale.
Shane had a return bout with Donnacha Sayers of Cashenvale BC. which was Kerry County Final 3 weeks ago while Shane improved a pile it wasnt enough to dislodge Sayers who retained his title.
So it’s on to the All Irelands for Christopher our only contender left in the Irish Championships.
