Jenkins and O’Donnell Ensure Irish Clean Sweep
Ryan Jenkins and Tadgh O’Donnell ensured it was an Irish clean sweep at the European Youths in Croatia on Tuesday.
The Olympic Mullingar boxer and the Four Kings fighter brought Ireland’s win tally on Day 6 to four, following on from the medal success of Ava Henry and Kyla Doyle.
Both fighters moved to within one win of a medal as they navigated the challenge of Armenia and IBA-B operators.
Jenkins registered his second win of the tournament and progressed to the quarter-finals courtesy of a solid display against Rafayel Nersisyan.
European Junior gold medal winner O’Donnell also reached the last eight after he defeated IBA-B’s Daniil Sauchanka, 5-0.
Earlier in the day Dublin duo Ava Henry and Kyla Doyle claimed Ireland’s first medals of this years tournament, claiming bronze at the very least with impressive displays.
