Moore keeps eye on rival

JAMES MOORE (Arklow) will have one eye on the European Championships when he goes into action in tonight’s boxing international against Scotland at the National Stadium.

The three time national senior champion bronze medallist at the world championships in Belfast in 2001 will face an unknown quantity in Fundo Mhura, and while it is important he wins, he will be keeping an eye on the progress of Henry Coyle in Pula, Croatia.

The young Mayo man stripped him of his title at the national senior championships in December and will be bidding for a place in the Olympics at the European championships, where the four medallists in each division will be guaranteed qualification.
