Egan closes in on nine-in-a-row
It was the Olympic silver medallist’s first ring appearance since returning from Beijing and he got a huge reception before going on to win each round decisively, 5-1, 5-1 and 6-1, although the score does not do justice to the Grangecon man’s contribution the contest.
Egan’s opponent in next Friday night’s final will be decided this evening when the world junior bronze medallist, Thomas McCarthy from the Oliver Plunkett club in Belfast meets Dubliner, Brendan Fitzpatrick (West Finglas).
