McDonagh brothers top star-studded bill

TOP class boxing returns to Fermoy tonight with a star-studded show at the Rowing Club where the McDonagh brothers will top the bill.

Fermoy has been synonymous with boxing over the years. Fans will recall with affection the visit of Olympic silver medallist Shawn O'Sullivan with a Canadian team, en route to the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, which drew fans from through the country to the Twilight Zone.

Since then, Fermoy boxing has been thriving under the direction of John Mahon and Pat Flynn, who were recently appointed tutors and who will be involved in preparing coaches from now on.
