There was more electric scenes at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Monkstown BC's Kenneth Doyle added the All Ireland Under 22 Championship title to his All Ireland Seniors win.
 
Kenneth (still only aged 18) booked his seat on the Irish Team heading to the upcoming European U22 Championships in Romania in March 2018. The IABA were using this championship as a selection process for the European U22 Championship. He will now enrol in the High Performance Training Camp at the National Sports Campus in Abbotstown.
 
He is no stranger to tough training and making sacrifices - there was no selection boxes over the Christmas for Doyle as he was in the middle of his training preparations for these championships, he also continues his studies at Sallynoggin College of Further Education where he is studying Sports & Leisure Management.



The Irish U22 championships have been ongoing for the past 3 weekends at the National Stadium. Doyle had to overcome 3 familiar opponents to lift the Light Welter 64kg Title.
 
 
Saturday 13th January:
64kg Kenneth Doyle (Monkstown Dublin) - Won 5/0 - Harrison Jameson (Virginia BC, Cavan)
Saturday 20th January:
64kg Kenneth Doyle (Monkstown Dublin) - Won 5/0 - Michael Kinsella (St Anthony’s/Pats BC, Wexford)
Saturday 27th January:
64kg Kenneth Doyle (Monkstown Dublin) - Won 3/2 - Matthew McCole (Dungloe BC, Donegal)

Kenneth Doyle wins Irish Senior 64kg Title

4 Comments

Read Now
 
Unbelievable scenes at the National Stadium on Friday night (01/12/2017) – Monkstown BC’s Kenneth Doyle won the Irish Senior Light Welterweight 64kg Title.
 
He becomes Monkstown’s 1st Senior Champion.
 
Kenneth is a real success story of “Never give Up on your dreams”.
 
Boxing in Monkstown BC since he was 9 years old, titles never came easy for him. He entered the Dublin Leagues at 11 years old and lost in the Final, he was then beaten in the Dublin Championship also in the final of same year. He never gave up and eventually after 5 hard years he done the double when he was 16 – he last chance of both & he won Dublin Leagues & Championships – he was beaten in the Semi Finals of the All-Irelands same year. Since then he has been runner up twice in the All Irelands - but was not to be denied on Friday.
 
He has been in National Stadium watching all his team mates winning National Titles year after year – he has dreamt his day would come. He entered the All Ireland Senior Championships on the 17th November after winning the recent Leinster Senior Championship throughout October.
 
In the All Irelands he had 16 other senior boxers (all aged from 18 to 40) from all corners of the country to overcome, and a daunting task he did just that. Club Coach James Doyle “this is unbelievable for Kenneth - at the tender age of 18 winning a Senior Title is an exceptional achievement. He deserves everything he gets from Boxing as he puts so much in, he is first into the club in the evening and last to leave. He has worked so hard for this – we are over the moon for him”.
 
Kenneth is no stranger to tough training – he jogs Dun Laoghaire Pier every morning before attending to his studies in the Sallynoggin College of Further Education, were he studies Sports & Leisure Management. Previous winners of the 64kg Irish Senior Title include Michael Carruth and Billy Walsh.
 
His route to the title:
17/11/2017 Last 16: Kenneth Doyle (Monkstown Dublin) beat  Aaron Daly (Castlebar, Mayo) 5-0
24/11/2017: Quarter Finals: Kenneth Doyle (Monkstown Dublin) beat  Jamie Long (Army/Muskerry, Cork) 3-2
25/11/2017: Semi Finals: Kenneth Doyle (Monkstown Dublin) beat  Michael Kinsella (St Anthonys /Pats Wexford) 5-0
01/12/2017: Finals: Kenneth Doyle (Monkstown Dublin) beat Matthew McCole (Dungloe, Donegal) 4-1

Read Now
 

Monkstown Boxing Club hosted its 5th Annual Boxing Event “Monkstown International Box Cup 2017” in DLR Loughlinstown Leisure Centre from Thursday 29th June to Sunday 2nd July 2017. The registration went very well as expected with over 700 boxers from 163 different clubs from 11 different Countries. The make up of the Countries can be seen below. The standard of the boxing was phenomenal, with many oversees clubs calling it the mini world championships. Many of these Boys & Girls will go onto represent their individual countries in upcoming major international boxing events.
 
 
Country/Clubs
Ireland x 97
England x 48
USA x 4
Wales x 4
Scotland x 3
Mongolia x 1
Denmark x 2
Belgium x 1
Norway x 1
Sweden x 1
Hungary x 1
Total 163

 
The organising committee decided to move from its previous venue in Sallynoggin to a bigger venue where they could fit five boxing rings in DLR Leisure Centre, Loughlinstown – this proved to be a huge hit, with plenty of space for the 5 rings, warm up areas, comfortable seating, athlete’s village and café.
 
The Box Cup Committee estimate we had over 2000 spectators per day visit the boxing event. We were delighted to see many of our local politicians & recently announced An Cathaoirleach Tom Murphy attend. Also in attendance on Finals day to hand out Champions Medals & Awards was Pat Ryan (President of the IABA).
 
Among the teams were 3 Female Champions from the highly acclaimed & very successful Mongolian Boxing Federation. All 3 female boxers won their Semi Finals bouts on Saturday & final bouts on Sunday, and were declared Champions. Also among the teams were 4 boxing teams from America – they had travelled from California, Oklahoma, Las Vegas & Texas – all their boxers were ranked No1 in the USA for their age & weigh class.  

The American Clubs & Mongolian delegation arrived in Ireland on Monday 26th June and trained/sparred with Monkstown BC locals at the Monkstown Boxing Club in Mounttown Community Facility, Fitzgerald Park in preparation for the Box Cup.
 
It was amazing to see Dun Laoghaire & surrounding areas packed out with all these boys & girls in their Boxing Club Tracksuits. Every Hotel/B&B/Guesthouse were booked out for the weekend, all the local restaurants/bars had an real upsurge in customers from the boxing event.


A special mention must go to Scottish boxer Lee Welsh (Jones BC, Sterling, Scotland) who only last year was cleared of cancer and allowed back in the ring to compete. He had 3 very good bouts over the weekend and won all 3 to become Monkstown Box Cup Champion.

 
The organising committee (all local volunteers) who worked tiresly preparing & planning the event want to sincerely thank everyone who helped out at the event and in particular:
Monkstown BC army of Volunteers
The Referee & Judge Supervisors/Officials
The staff at DLR Loughstown Leisure Centre
Our sponsors & supporters: Globalmedics.com, DLRCC (Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council), IABA (Irish Athletic Boxing Assoc.), DLR Leisure Services, The Lough Inn, Ballybrack Waste, St. Josephs Boys BC, and Ergo Boxing.

Tommy Rapple Volunteer Award

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Congratulations to Monkstown BC Chairman Tommy Rapple who was chosen for an award of "Long serving volunteer to Community" by DLRCC An Cathaoirleach Cormac Devlin.

Please explain why you feel the nominee deserves this award.
Tommy Rapple deserves this award. He originally set Monkstown Boxing Club up to help kids from getting into trouble (constant thought of others) around the Mounttown Flats/Fitzgerald Park area.

 He has helped grow the club from its humble beginnings in a disused Flat to one of Irelands top boxing clubs, producing County & National Champions year on year.

 His constant joking style of coaching and enthusiasm for boxing make nights in the boxing club more enjoyable, engaging and fun – while still challenging his boxers & coaches to learn. His committee meetings are informality with a real professionalism, always encouraging committee members & coaches to ask questions and become immersed in the club.

 There is rarely a night that Tommy is not in the club and we are so grateful to him for generously sharing his time, knowledge and experience. We feel he is a fantastic chairman & boxing coach but more importantly we feel his coaching on life-skills to all our boxers is so important and greatly appreciated by all our members.

 Tommy leaves a lasting impression on every boxer he meets, whether they’ve been coached by him or not. He really is an extraordinary, kind and caring man. All at the boxing club & local community are so lucky to have him involved, and long may he continue his excellent work.
