Matthew McCole advances to set up U22 final rematch with Doyle

Dungloe’s Matthew McCole advanced to the light-welterweight final at the National U22 Championships in Dublin.

McCole (above, right) will meet a familiar foe, Monkstown’s Kenneth Doyle, in next Saturday’s final at the National Stadium.

McCole defeated Aaron Daly from Castlebar on a split decision to move into the decider.

The Dungloe ace will now meet Doyle, who defeated him in controversial circumstances at the National Seniors in November.
