Intermediate Finals Line Up
Former European Youth champion Gary Cully and Hughie Joyce are scheduled to clash in the lightweight final at the National Intermediate Championships live on TG4 at the National Stadium in Dublin on Friday night, 5th December.
Cully secured European Youth 52kg gold in Holland last year and also scooped the Best Boxer Award in Rotterdam. The towering southpaw already has
four Irish titles to his name and says his target is the Rio 2016 Olympics.
He meets talented St Michael’s Athy prospect Joyce, a two-time Irish champion, in what should be a cracking 60kg decider at the home of Irish boxing.
Elsewhere at the South Circular Road venue this Friday, Ciara O’Griofa will be aiming for yet another Irish crown. The Galway cruiserweight, who has claimed U/18 and U/21 belts, meets Dubliner Jeffery Kavanagh, the 2013 U/22 champion, in an 85kg battle of the southpaws. Fifteen finals will be decided in the ring on Friday evening in a tournament which is a traditional stepping stone to the National Elite Championships.
Daryl Moran and Brendan Irvine, who won on his Elite international debut against France at the National Stadium last Friday, received walkovers. Emma Gallagher and Orla McInerney get proceedings underway in the bantamweight class, while Belfast’s Ryan Adams and Limerick’s Myles Casey clash in the men’s bantamweight finals. Coached by Gerry Storey and Ken Moore respectively, Adams says his ambition is to win an Elite crown, while Casey goes into the three-rounder looking to add to a CV which already contains Youth titles.
Meantime, Robert Kraska and Bernie Stokes will battle it out for super-heavyweight gold in the last final of the year at the National Stadium. Stokes has won two titles in Wales and Kraska is the current Leinster champion.
TG4 will be televising the Championship live from the Stadium at 7.30pm. Friday’s weigh-ins will be held between 8am and 10am and 12pm and 1pm. Ticket prices for the event have gone on sale already @€15 for adults and €5 for children under the age of 14 years.
Affiliated IABA Clubs can also avail of a special ticket offer for Friday’s finals. The first 30 clubs to contact Sally in the National Stadium with 20
names will gain entry for €50 on the night. Terms and Conditions apply.
