Rebels rumble for a good cause

NOT quite the MGM Grand or Madison Square Garden but Cork’s footballers battered each other into submission at a charity boxing night in the Rochestown Park Hotel on Saturday night.

Arguably the fight of the night was dual star Eoin ‘Cads’ Cadogan against Paudie ‘Energiser’ Kissane. And Kissane lived up to the billing, unleashing a volley of punches from the off that surprised his opponent. Indeed Kissane never let up and practically chased Cadogan around the ring at times.

The Douglas man was no shrinking violet either and he cleverly used the momentum of Kissane to pick off punches and trade blows in an entertaining contest.
