THERE WAS DONEGAL success at the Ulster 9 Counties Novice Championship finals in Newtownstewart today.
Six Donegal boxers left the County Tyrone venue with titles after a busy day of action.
Raphoe ABC’s Tom Doherty added to his growing array of honours when he defeated Craigavon’s Ryan Henry in the Boy 4 91kgs decider.
Doherty was the Boy 3 Irish champion last season and was presented with the Michael Bonner Memorial Cup, given to the Best Juvenile Boxer, at the Donegal Boxing Board’s awards night in September.
Today, Doherty was on the front foot to the off and landed several stinging shots to gun down Henry.
Letterkenny’s Cameron Friel stunned Tiarnan Quinn from Galbally in the Youth 1 52kgs final. Friel landed a cracking power punch that floored Quinn at the start of the second round and ended the contest.
Letterkenny’s Marc O’Boyce was the comfortable points winner over Fergal McFlynn from Cookstown and there were walkovers for Dungloe’s Fionan Rogers and Illies’ Tiarnan Gallagher.
Illies woman Courtney Clare had the edge on Twin Towns’ Alecia McMenamin in a cracking girl 4 63kgs decider.
