LIMERICK Cadets, Southside Boxing Academy Limerick was the venue to be for young boxers over last weekend.

Tralee Boxing Club had eight entries taking home 4 gold and 4 silver. John Murray was at his best to win against D McCarthy Rathkeale.

The 3 young stars were Jamsie Casey, Mikey Burke, Alana O’Brien first time officially in the ring (just received boxing books last week).

Jamsie put up great display winning unanimously, Mikey had two great fights winning Saturday and Sunday. This will be great asset to him for the upcoming Munster Championships.

Star of the show was 11 year old Alana O’Brien fighting daughter of Willy ‘Big Bang’ Casey (European Champion), the local crowd and giving away height and weight.

Alana put in an unmerciful display of skill and courage. These four boxers are under the watchful eye of Donie Jack Griffin for the past few years and now all the hard word is paying off.
