Lee heads the Irish march to finals

ANDY LEE was a comfortable if not impressive winner of his middleweight semi-final at the Four Nations boxing championships in Liverpool last night.

He will lead five Irish boxers into tonight's finals after an evening of mixed fortunes for the eight in action.

The Limerick southpaw was having his third fight in three weeks when he went in against Steve Mullins from England. His opponent proved no match for Lee who ended up with a clearcut 21-2 victory.
