Barrett tops bill in Rylane tournament

RYLANE Boxing Club is back in action tonight with a rescheduled tournament featuring a star-studded bill at the Community Centre in Aghabullogue.

There are 14 bouts down for decision and at least three of them will be of national interest.

David Barrett, brother of two-time former Irish senior light welterweight champion Seanie, will square up to Craig McCarthy from St Paul’s Club in Waterford, a former Irish youths champion who boxed at welterweight in this season’s intermediate championships. The fact that Barrett is conceding a couple of kilos adds an extra dimension to the bout.
