Allen set for big home finale
Arklow star to box Robbie Burke in final Arklow bout
SEAN ALLEN, Arklow’s star light heavyweight, is set to have his final home bout in the Arklow Bay Hotel on Friday, November 3
Sean will face the talented Robbie Burke from Glasnevin in what promises to be a cracking bout.
Sean boxed a special exhibition against Darren O’Neill out of Paulstown at the weekend and as usual it turned into a war with both boxers scoring with solid punches to head and body.
It’s hard to believe that both boxers are such good friends outside the ring but when the gloves are on and the bell rings both will always box to win.
The bill which will feature 20 of Arklow’s top boxers including Fergal Redmond who will be in with an opponent from Glasnevin or Curragh.
Sean Crowley will be in action against Derek Maguire of the Holy Family Drogheda club and this should be a cracker as both boys are national champions.
Aaron Tuke will be in against David Nevin of Holy Family and Owen Moore will box Nevin’s brother Gerry.
Josh Whitmore is matched with Tadgh Donnelly of Holy Family while Michael Moorehouse will swap punches with Nathan Tyrrell out of Sacre Couer.
Arklow has six boxers making their debut at schoolboy/schoolgirl level.
Niamh Molloy will take on Roisin Balph from Sacre Couer, Luke Mulhall will box against William Mongan from Mount Tallent, Ross Farrell will meet John McDonnell, also from Mount Tallent, and Paul Moore will match Conor Hammill from the same club.
The Mount Tallent club are also bringing boxers for Arklow’s Darragh O’Connor, Lucas Godkin, and Josh Browne.
Arklow are also arranging matches for their Leinster champions, Philip and Daniel Feokrytova, Andriyi Kulachenko, Damien Aibologa, Eimhin McCormack, Sean and Matthew Tyndall, Sean Fleming, Daniel Byrne also Daniel Fox, Jamie Doyle, Jason Breen and national champs Amber Byrne and Tegan Farrell.
