A Donegal boxing select overcame Leitrim on Sunday evening in an inter-county show at the Sean McDermott ABC in Manorhamilton.

Donegal punchers won six bouts to two.

It has been a successful period for Donegal’s young boxers, under the watch of the county coach, Dominic McCafferty, following a recent win in Mayo.

Dungloe duo Jack Gallagher and Tiernan McGrory had wins over Charlie Ward and Johnny Ward.

Raphoe’s Aaron McDaid was victorious against Tadhg McGovern while Alan McDonagh from Dunree had his hand raised after a bout with Eddie McDonald.

Dunfanaghy pair Bernie McDonagh and Sean Kelly proved too strong for Jason Ward and Odhran Gethins to ensure that Donegal came home victorious.

Carndonagh’s Andrew Cunningham lost out to Kenny White and Dungloe’s Eoin Ketterick was pipped by Terence Ward.
