All four Irish juniors box clever in Six Nations tourney

ALL four Irish boxers won medals at a Six Nations junior tournament in Rome last weekend.

The haul of two gold, one silver and one bronze justified the High Performance policy of only sending competitors with definite medal chances to the major tournaments.

And Director Gary Keegan is hoping to build on this success at the European junior championships in Estonia next month. David Oliver Joyce underscored his medal potential for that event by collecting the bantamweight title in Rome, an addition to his national junior, intermediate and senior titles.
