MEDAL ALERT – John Donoghue Secures European Bronze at Least

John Donoghue’s impressive international podium run continues.

The World and European underage gold medal winner claimed a third major international medal in the Czech Republic on Sunday.

The Olympic Mullingar BC boxer claimed European U19 Championship bronze at the very least with a decisive quarter-final win.

The 65kg operator defeated Ukraine’s Vladyslav Zheleznov to progress to the semi-final.

Donoghue will box for silver on Wednesday alongside fellow medal winners Kayleigh Byrne, Grace Conway, Sean McCusker and Nessa Tabachuk.

Shay O’Dowd fights for a medal in the evening session and will look to make it a Sunday clean sweep.
