National Elite Senior Championships – DAY 2 RESULTS


There was payback galore tonight in the second session of the 2018 Liffey Crane Hire Senior Elite Championships, with quarter finals and semi finals taking place at the home of Irish boxing.

In the semis there were two repeats of past finals, and two reversed results – with George Bates avenging his 2017 lightweight final loss to Pat Mongan and Evan Metcalfe scoring a win over Myles Casey at bantamweight in a repeat of the 2015 flyweight final.

Last year’s welterweight champion, Dean Walsh, won’t be retaining his title having been beaten by the Kieran Molloy, the Oughterard fighter announcing his arrival on the scene with a fantastic performance.

There were also wins for Caoimhin Ferguson, Dervla Duffy, Wayne Kelly, Frankie Cleary, Thomas McCarthy, Dean Gardiner, and Eugene McKeever who survived a final round knockdown against Tony McGlynn.

The semi finals resume tomorrow evening.
