Boxing Club Notes
On Saturday last the Raphoe Club entered eight boxers in the Donegal Open Championships held in the Carndonagh Club and Raphoe came away with six Donegal championships. Ballindrait hot-shot Liam Crawford turned in a vintage display of ring craft when he outpointed Sayed Alisinalizade, Letterkenny to win the 12-year- old title at 52kg.
There were wins by walk-over for Aaron McDaid, Eoin McGarrell, Liam McMonagle, Tom Doherty and Conor McGurk. Lifford’s rising star Danny Buchanan turned in a gutsy display only to lose out to Odhran McGinley, Dunfanaghy and Oran Devine lost out to Carndonagh’s Oisin Devlin. Well done to all of you boys.
