JOHN MCDONAGH BOOKED his ticket to this morning’s National Senior light-heavyweight semi-final last night with a convincing win in Dublin.
The Letterkenny ABC man McDonagh overcame Michael Frayne from the St Mary’s ABC in Dublin.
At the National Stadium in a light-heavyweight quarter-final, McDonagh scored another impressive win.
McDonagh’s power and precision was too much for Tallaght puncher Frayne and the Letterkenny boxer claimed a unanimous decision win to book a place in this morning’s semi-final.

McDonagh will hope to make the final with St Mary’s Daingean’s Brian Kennedy in wait in today’s semi. Last night, Kennedy overcame Paulstown’s Philip Hickey.
