4 medals is fantastic especially when the aim was to win one. It shows the high proformance program is working at both senior and junior level. Well done to all the lads and who knows some could upgrade bronze to silver or gold. But no matter what the colour they come home with they have done themselves there clubs and the iaba proud

One Gold, One Silver and 2 bronze............excellent achievement.

well done lads, tried to start a topic on this and couldn't. Not just the high performance the clubs that these lads boxed out of since 10 be it a community hall or delapadated shed. Amateur Boxing in Ireland definately punches above it's weight.
