Enya Logue (a distant relation of Pa Sharkey) won the first title for the newly formed Annagry Boxing Club when she won the girls 45kg section to become the Donegal/Derry zone champion.
There was great delight from her dedicated coaches of Brian Mulholland, Michael O Neill and Charles O’Donnell.
Enya has worked hard over the past few months under the watchful eyes of her coaches and her victory is a great inspiration for the others in the club but also a reward for the time and effort put in by the committee and coaches. Enya now progresses on to the Ulster Finals this weekend.
The Annagry Boxing Club was reestablished last year, following on from the strong tradition of boxing in the area back to Pa Sharkey who was a member of the 1956 Irish Olympic boxing team.
After fundraising and notable donations for equipment, documentation and getting accredited coaches and officials in place the doors of Annagry Hall open last September with 70+ athletes training over two sessions three nights a week all winter. The club is open to all who want to train and there is also the opportunity for those who want to be competitive to take those paths also.
