National Elite Senior Championships – Semi-Finals Day 2 RESULTS

The semi-finals for the 2019 National Elite Championships were completed this evening with 13 high-quality bouts.

The tournament this year featured record numbers of entries and tonight boasted a line-up that was akin to a finals night.

Starting off the night, relentless Lisburn puncher Chloe Fleck overcame Courtney Daly to set up a repeat of the Ulster final with Donna Barr – who received a walkover tonight.

James McGivern and George Bates have both moved up to light welter after the removal of lightweight from the Olympic roster and both made it safely through to the final tonight.

Kieran Molloy was given a test by Luke Maguire but emerged victorious while Paddy Donovan edged Aidan Walsh in a cagey corresponding semi – what a final that will be.

At midleweight, 2017 champion Emmett Brennan beat Ulster champ Fearghus Quinn while a heavily limping Gabriel Dossen was able to get past Brett McGinty.

The well-supported Tommy Hyde squeaked past Paul McCullagh in a battle of the big punchers and will meet Thomas O’Toole in the light heavy final.

In a messy, bloody bout, defending heavyweight champion Kirill Afanasev was sensationally dumped out on a 3-1 split by Tony Browne. The other semi saw Kenny Okungbowa, a runner up multiple times, overcome Ulster champion Karol Dlugosz.

Up at super heavy, Dean Gardiner and Martin Keenan both won to set up a repeat of last year’s final.
