BOXING European Junior Championships

25 Jun 2010


Ireland's European Junior Championships campaign ended on a disappointing note today after all Irish five boxers lost their quarter final bouts in the Ukraine.

Defeats for Dean Walsh, Declan Carlin, Dylan Carr, Robert McGreevey and George Boylan brought the curtain down on Ireland's involvement in the 30 nation tournament.

Walsh was desperately unlucky to lose out to Henrik Mokoyan of Armenia by a one point margin.

Carlin, McGreevey, Boylan and Carr also produced brave displays against formidable opposition at the Sports Centre in the city of Lvov.

Ireland were using a nine-man squad in the Ukraine, reduced to eight last Monday after Anthony Coyle picked up a foot injury.

Up to 217 boxers are competing at the Championships across 13 weight categories from 46Kg to 80Kg+.

The Championships conclude on Sunday.

The European Junior Championships are reserved for boxers born in 1994-95.
