TRALEE twin brothers Patrick & Micheal McCarthy will box Cork twin brothers Gerard & John McDonagh in the Boys Munster Championships in Dungarvan Co Waterford on Saturday.
Just to add another bit of spice to it, both coaches are named Tommy Kelliher!
Patrick will box Gerard who is current Irish Champion B4 48kg, Mike will box John who is current Munster Champion B4 46kg.
This will be a cracking contest as Mike is current Monkstown Champion.
Another younger boxer Jonathon McCarthy is also in a Munster Final at B4 42kg (semi-final to be decided). Jonathon is a 1st cousin of the McCarthy twins who all box out of Tralee Boxing Club under the guidance of coaches Tommy, Noelie Kelliher, & Doniejack Griffin, ably assisted by Andy Doyle,& Paul Moriarty.
We at Tralee Boxing Club would like to wish our three contenders all the luck and hope they all return Munster Champions.
