Nevin and Buckley secure medals at European Games

Laois middleweight Michael Nevin and Bray light-flyweight Regan Buckley guaranteed Ireland’s first medals of the second European Games on 4-1 split decisions in Minsk yesterday.

Buckley saw off Spain’s Marin Molina, and Nevin, in his third win in four days, earned a 30-27,30-27,29-28,29-28,28-29 verdict over Turkey’s Guler Serhat. Both men are now guaranteed at least bronze.
