Congratulations are due to members of Athy’s St. Michael’s Boxing Club following fantastic success in the National Amateur Boxing Finals in Dublin last night according to Athy’s Cllr Richard Daly of Fine Gael.
“Athy must be very proud of the four boxers who gave excellent performances in the National Stadium last night and brought credit to the town, their club and their families. Not only did three of the boxers win national titles but they did it under the watchful eye of National President Dom O’Rourke.
Unfortunately Tommy Sheahan’s sterling performance was not enough for a title but Roy Sheahan, David Oliver Joyce and John Joyce won their categories and saw St Michael’s club win the lion’s share of the national titles.
Ross Hickey from Grangecon was also a title winner having beaten Athy’s Eric Donovan the previous night so another title also came to the locality.
These young sportsmen now prepare for Olympic qualification and are examples of perseverance and commitment to all of our young people.
I congratulate the club, Dom O’Rourke and the fine sportsmen who brought honour to the town once again.
