DONEGAL OVERCAME a Sligo/Leitrim select at an intercounty tournament in the Letterkenny ABC gym tonight.
Donegal took a 12-7 win in an action-packed card that had 19 cracking contests. Ulster Intermediate champion Mark McCole (pictured above) from Dungloe overcame former European Schoolboy Champion Jordan Myers in a belting 67kgs bout.
Sligo man Myers was the European champion in 2013, but McCole was superb tonight, using his feet well around the ring and making good use of his reach.
McCole has hit the crossbar several times at national level, but is on the rise.
St Brigid’s Clonmany’s Irish champion Edward McEleney (pictured below) made light work of Jason Maughan at 91kgs, McEleney in control of the bout from start to finish.
Letterkenny ABC coach John Elliott deserves great credit for his match-making, which made for an entertaining night.
Dunfanaghy’s former National Intermediate champion Martin McDonagh was another to catch the eye as he defeated James Kelly 3-0, while Dungloe’s Ulster kingpin Oisin Wallace defeated Jordan McGovern 3-0.
The locals were in good form, too.
Cillin Boyce was in brilliant mode as he defeated Jamie Spollan 3-0, while former Ulster champion Oran Shields defeated Niall McDermott 2-1.
