Forty one finals were decided at the Girl 1/6 Championships at the National Stadium in Dublin today. 

 

Forty one National titles were distributed at today’s Girl 1, 2 & 3 Championship finals amid a tremendous atmosphere at the National Stadium in Dublin.

Ireland’s clubs and boxing fans turned out in force to get behind Ireland’s next generation of stars on a pulsating afternoon at IABA headquarters.

The St Brigid’s BC were celebrating on the double following back-to-back wins for Katelyn Phelan and Katelyn Doran.

But there was double disappointment for the Fermoy BC after the brave Maggie Cullen and Amy Milward lost out to the talented Golden Gloves and Clann Naofa pair of Joanne Padden and Shauna O’Callaghan.

Milward was involved in a cracking 46kg three-rounder with O’Callaghan. This one went all the way down to a countback, the Clann Naofa ace getting the nod on a 69-67 verdict.

Kasey Holohan, Alanna Waldron, Ellen McDonagh, Molly Ahern, Paige O’Keefe and Nadine Dermody also claimed Girl 1 titles thisafternoon.

Courtney Daly, Chloe Gallagher, Shaune Blaney, NicoleAgnew, Rosie Conroy, Niamh Early, M McCarthy, Labhaoise Clarke and Erin Heneghan secured the first nine Girl 2 titles on offer.

Agnew was involved in the second countback win of the day over Catherine Walsh in another end-to-end contest.

Natasha O’Reilly. Abbey Comiskey Tara Barrett, Leah Sutton and Elizabeth Murphy also finished on top of the podium.

Natasha Logan, Martha Myres and Shauna Kearney recorded inside the distance wins in the Girl 3 deciders. Megan Felton claimed 36kg honours, followed by JL Kirby’s victory over Mairead Dobbins in the 39kg class.

Aisling Joyce impressed this afternoon, while Dolores Hughes, Shannon Edge, Caomhe Moloney, Chloe Gray, Aoife Burke, Nell Fox, Emma Kelly and Oneisa Brennan left the home of Irish boxing with Irish titles to
their names.

Earlier today, Austeja Aquieta and Cheyanne O’Neill had to be separated on a countback following a thrilling 63kg semi-final.

An end-to-end decider saw both boxers tied at 13-13 before Aquieta’s hand that was raised by a two-point margin of victory on accepted scores.

Christine Gargan, a silver medal for Ireland at the 2010European Youth and Junior Championships, also remerged victorious today.

Talented young Kildare and Tramore prospects Molly Brennan and Zoe Breslin got Saturday’s last-four contests underway.

Brennan earned an impressive 16-8 decision from the opening bout of the session.

The remaining Girl 1 & 2 finals and the Girl 4.5 & 6 finals will be decided next Friday evening.
