Ireland have taken on Wales in the first of a series of International in Wales.
Internationals such as these are key development opportunties for athletes. To date this year, Boxing Ireland athletes have participated in Internationals against Sweden, Scotland (February & May), Netherlands and France.
Team Ireland boxers put in superb performances and came away with three wins. Both countries go head-to-had again on Sunday.
The team is led and managed by Anna Moore (St. Francis BC). The coaching staff is Mark Salinger (Sacred Heart D); Johnathan Kelly (St Abban’s/Killmyshall); Richard Hore (Wexford CBS); David Byrne (Swords); Patricia McLoughlin (St Catherine’s) and Karen Robins (Gorey)
