It’s been a very busy week for the club with six boxers taking part in the Wicklow Wexford inter-county.
Two of our female boxers, Amber Byrne and Tegan Farrell, had to settle for silver in Guildford, England, both beaten by English opponents who were very aggressive and putting our girls under constant pressure.
Amber and Tegan gave it their best and it will be a good learning experience. for them.
In other news Kai Davis had great success in the prestigious LDS Box Cup in Kildare at the weekend, which is an international tournament.
Kai won two contests to become champion taking the fight to both opponents with some good technical skills and good combinations. Kai is definitely one to look out for in the future.
