St Francis Boxing Club

Thanks to Camac BC for some great sparring today for Martin, Donagh and Leon.
Tough rds and super hospitality.

Wednesdays training session will be our last for a while.
We will be taking a well earned break for 6-7 weeks and return mid August.

Brilliant days boxing yesterday in Mitchelsown.
We had two boxers on and both performed out of their skins which happily led to two great wins.
Callum Lysaght made his international debut which is always a big step up but he took to it superbly boxing to instruction and remained composed throughout picking his shots and being roared on by a huge crowd that nearly took the roof off the venue he was awarded a more than deserved 4-1 devision over his experienced Dutch opponent max van diessen.
Leon Moynihan was involved in the best of the undercard bouts versus the talented Bobby Ball from Kerry.
Three pulsating rounds from both lads led to a not surprising 3 2 split decision and after being on the wrong side of more than his equal amount of these there was delight when the decision fell the way of our guy yesterday.
Club president Derek Duhig also made his international debut as a ref and did a great job as always.
There are more downs than ups in our sport but yesterday was a good day.

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.
