Wait over as O’Neill set to meet Sutherland

TWELVE months ago this week Darren O’Neill’s Olympic dream was shattered when he fractured his wrist while training for the national senior boxing championships.

But the last six months has seen a dramatic turnaround in the fortunes of the Paulstown man.

“It was on January 4 last year that I broke my wrist,” he recalled yesterday. “And to say I was devastated would be an understatement.”
