Super Sutherland leads Irish charge into finals

DARREN SUTHERLAND got his international boxing career back on track with a medal-winning performance at the multi-nations tournament in Zagreb last night.

Sutherland outpointed experienced Italian Ivano Del Monte, 32-19, to qualify for today’s middleweight final.

Ireland will have five boxers in the finals after a spectacular performance from newly-crowned national senior featherweight champion David Oliver Joyce, a second senior international victory for debutant Ryan Lindberg, and wins for John Joe Joyce and European bronze medallist Kenneth Egan.
