Rochfortbridge Boxing Club

Thanks a lot Philip and the lads in Dublin Docklands for the spars for Cathal this morning

The best of luck to Sieanna and her U15 & U17 teamates in the remaining section of the 4 nations.

🥈 Silver for both Luke and Carley! 🥈
​We are a bit disappointed as both Luke and Carley lost two very tight contests against quality opposition today. Facing home boxers, both can count themselves unlucky not to have had their hands raised.
​🥊 Carley can be incredibly disappointed with a completely unjustified point deduction in round 2—the wrong boxer was penalized, and it completely turned the contest. After a slowish start, Carley got into a nice rhythm, looked to have won round 1, and was well on her way to winning round 2 before the warning. She then had to chase the contest against the home boxer. There were a few errors, but it was a great contest against a quality opponent who had previously beaten a top English boxer in the semis. When the dust settles, this is an experience she will learn a massive amount from. Number 2 in the U19 4 Nations, and still only 16 years old!
​🥊 Luke also faced a Scottish opponent and can feel distinctly unlucky with his result. In what was a very tight, technical contest, Luke looked to have edged every round while controlling the center, but the judges saw it otherwise. Still, it was another superb performance and all part of the journey.
​Two good wins and two very tight losses against home boxers. We couldn’t be prouder of both of them returning with two Silver medals! 🥈🥈
​✈️ It’s over now to Sianna O'Herron who flies out today with her U15 and U17 teammates, as the U19s and Elites travel home. Best of luck, team! Let's go! 💪🥊
