Monkstown Schoolboys Strike Gold

Another fantastic day for Monkstown Boxing Club at the National Stadium for the All Ireland Schoolboy Championships. Both Ryan Squire (Age 13 43kg) and Suffie Edris (Age 13 44.5kg) picked up All Ireland Gold Medals.

 
Ryan Squire had to come through 3 tough bouts. Quarter Finals he beat Peter Devine (Oliver Plunkett BC, Belfast), in his Semi Final he beat Arthur McInerney (Portlaoise BC) and in his final he beat last years Irish Champion Stephen McCarthy (Charleville BC, Cork).
 
Suffie Edris also had to come through 3 hard fought contests. Quarter Finals he beat James Connors (Ennis BC, Clare), in his Semi Final he beat Charles Corcoran (Carrickmore BC, Tyrone) and in his final he beat John Thompson (Castle BC, Antrim).
 
There was hard luck for 3 other Monkstown boys:
Padraig Stapleton (age 11 37kg) beaten in quarter finals
Sam Fitzgibbon (age 11 44.5kg) beaten in semi finals
Ryan Gill (age 12 37kg) beaten in quarter finals.
