Lafferty, Gallen and Simmons target Irish Cadet final places

written by Chris McNulty August 16, 2018

Three Donegal boxers are in action this weekend in the National Boys and Girls Senior Cadet Championships in Dublin.

Raphoe duo Cody Lafferty and Leah Gallen will be in semi-final action, as will Molly Simmons from Carndonagh. 

Picture: Leah Gallen and Cody Lafferty with Raphoe ABC coaches Gerard Keaveney and Gary McCullagh.

Lafferty faces Rathkeale’s Breda Quilligan in a 46kgs semi-final.

Last weekend, the Ballindrait ace defeated Castleblaney’s Andrea Leer 5-0 in a quarter-final.

The 2014 Irish Girl 1 champion is back at a more natural 46kgs weight again and will be gunning to return to an Irish final.

This year’s Irish Girl 5 champion, Gallen, returns to the canvas again as she takes on Drimnagh’s Abi Sutton.

Earlier in 2018, Gallen defeated Keisha Attwell to win the Girl 5 66kgs crown and Gallen is back at 66kgs for these Championships.

Sophia Hopkova from Ballyhaunis awaits the winner.

Carndonagh’s Simmons is up against Clonmel woman Ellie Mai Gartland in a 54kgs semi.

Next weekend, Carndonagh man Andrew Cunningham takes to the ring in a 60kgs semi-final as he is slated to meet Steven Cairns of Legacy.
