McDonagh tops all-star bill at Mahon memorial

ARTHUR McDONAGH will top the bill when Fermoy ABC honour the memory of their late president and founder-member John Mahon with a special memorial boxing tournament at St Coleman’s Sports Hall on Sunday (3pm).

The club, under Pa Flynn, will be staging the tournament for the second time to honour John, who gave a lifetime of service to boxing at local, national and international levels.

McDonagh was one of the boxers he groomed for stardom. A three-time national champion, he also won a four nations tournament and will have an interesting opponent tomorrow in three times national champion from the St Francis Club in Limerick, Fintan Walsh.
