UPDATED List of Irish European Youth Championships Medallist
The class of 2022 made Irish boxing history.
The under-18 team won more European Youth Championships medals than any team previous.
Irish boxers won eight medals in total, three gold, a silver, and four bronze in a great week for amateur Irish boxing in Sofia, Bulgaria.
The four bronze medals come courtesy of 48kg boxers Georgia Dunn McGovern and Patsy Joyce, 50kg Katie O’Keeffe, and 63kg Winnie McDonagh.
70kg Laura Moran had silver draped over her neck while 71kg Bobbi Flood, 81kg Dearbhla Tinnelly, and 81+kg Cliona D’arcy all had the Midas touch.
The eight medal haul brings Ireland’s Euro Youth medal total to 50 and the number of Irish gold medals at Youth European level went from 7 to 10 in one very successful day.
The 2022 medallists join a list that includes the likes of Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan, world title challenger Jason Quigley and Olympians Michaela Walsh and Cathal O’Grady.
