European Youth Championship Team Named
A 14-strong team has been named to contest the 2024 European Youth Championships, taking place in Porec, Croatia, from April 2nd to 15th.

They came home with 3 gold for eam Co-Captain, 71kg Bobbi Flood, 81kg Dearbhla Tinnelly and 81+kg Cliona D’arcy, a silver for 70kg Laura Moran and 3 bronze for 48kg boxers Georgia McGovern and Patsy Joyce, 50kg Katie O’Keeffe, and 63kg Winnie McDonagh.
The draw takes place on April 3rd, and boxing begins on the 4th.
The team will also take part in a four-day training camp with the French team in Nancy, from March 24th to 28th.
