National Cadet Championships May 2012.

Hard luck to Matthew McDonagh and James Carolan in the cadet championships in Dublin on Friday last the 4th May 2012. Matthew and James both were defeated in the National championships a few weeks before this and had came back to training to have a go at the cadets. This is both of the boys first year boxing in the National Stadium and they have gained valuable experience from these Championships. Unfortunately they didn’t get any decisions but this experience will stand for them in further competitions. They have both had a very successful 2011/2012 season and should be proud of themselves. Well done boys from everyone in Geesala boxing club.


All Ireland Championships April 2012.

What a fantastic weekend for Geesala Boxing club. If three titles the weekend before wasn’t enough, another three were taken in the National Stadium on Friday night the 27th of April by the Geesala girls. Ciara Ginty, Shannon Timlin and Louise Donohoe took away three hard
fought titles home to geesala. The three contests were very entertaining with everyone biting their nails at the final bell, awaiting to hear the judges decision. The club went to
Dublin with 7 potential title hopes and came home with 6 titles leaving it very
close to taking 7. Congratulations to all the girls from Geesala Club on a
wonderful History making feat.
