Halloween gold for St Monica's young boxers

Halloween gold for St Monica’s

NEWRY’S St Monica's Boxing Club claimed three gold medals in the Belfast Halloween Box Cup.

Cain Markey (Boy 1 38kg), Cody Duffy (Boy 1 40kg) and Joe McParland (Youth 1 50kg) are all gold medal winners.

This took place over three days and coach Stephen Traynor said that this was a tough boxing competition.

“Cain had two contests and boxed brilliantly in both of them,” said Traynor.

“Cody had a straight final on the Saturday and although he took a standing count in the first round he had to dig deep to get the win.

“Joe had three fights and had three different styles of opponents. This will be great preparation for him competing in England this month.”
