Daly congratulates Athy Boxers on National success

Fine Gael General Election candidate for Kildare South, Cllr Richard Daly, congratulated St. Michael’s Boxing Club, Athy on its hat trick victory at the National Championships this week end.

“Boxers from St. Michael’s have brought great credit to the town and have repeatedly won national acclaim. I congratulate the club and am particularly delighted to see two of my own past students in the finals. It was both unfortunate and a measure of the clubs success that the 57kg final was between two from the same club.

Congratulations to Roy, David Oliver and John Joe and continued success to Eric who relinquished his title. A special work of thank to Dom O’Rourke who has brought the club and the town onto the national stage.

These young people are an example of what can be done with determination and the town should be very proud of all of them.”
