Glengormley Hit the Big Time Again Aaron McKeith became the latest Irish Champion for Glengormley ABC, ending a drought of some twenty years, when he lifted the All Ireland 60kg Lightweight Senior Novice Crown at the National Stadium in Dublin last Saturday night, 22nd January. The 24 year old ex BRA student and business graduate from UUJ had a cautious start to his campaign with a 2-0 win over Jordan Lynch of Blessington ABC the weekend before. The pressure was on as he had just watched his club mate Jamie Lawrie go out of the competition earlier that day by the cruellest of decisions with a 3-3 score and then the wrong side of a 5-6 countback. Jamie was in action the night before winning an absorbing toe to toe contest and may just have taken too much from the tank… Disappointment for Jamie as he knows he should have done better against the southpaw from the Mike Flaherty club but jubilation for Aaron as he was into the semi-finals the following weekend. Ably assisted by ex Hillview cornerman Paul Kelly, Aaron locked horns with Dean Gilsenan of Maynooth with a place in the finals at stake. 3-0 was the score and West Belfast’s Clonard boxer Darragh Hall awaited Aaron in the final. Both boxers had sparred previously with the Clonard man claiming the bragging rights but Arron was to have the last laugh. Another emphatic display of tight defence with solid counters and hooks claimed the Clonard man’s scalp and Aaron has still to touch down… Well done to Aaron McKeith Irish Champion and strategist Paul Kelly assisted by Ryan Justin. See next week’s report for the latest Antrim and Ulster Champions to emerge from the Club under the expert guidance of head coach Paul Norton. The last Irish Champion at Glengormley may have been Patrick McCrory Jnr now living in France or was it Michael O’Kane who went on to claim an Ulster Elite title? Possibly before that was it Jeff Speers ex Linfield captain or even Danny McGrinder who of course claimed 6 Ulster titles in a row but that’s too far back in time - a job for Liam Murphy no doubt…
Cheers Malachy Scott Secretary Glengormley ABC
