"Ireland beat
England"
Ireland came for behind to claim an 8-6 victory
over England in tonight's U/21 international at the National
Stadium in Dublin.
Garry Molloy, Gavin Keating, Jason Quigley, John
Joe Joyce, Stephen O'Reilly, Ciaran McAuley, Patrick Corcoran
and Joe Joyce had their hands raised in victory as the boys in
green finished out the year on a high note.
Maurice Lally was stopped in the first round by
Chris Binckhorn in the opening bout of the evening - but Gary
Molloy restored parity after earning an 8-5 verdict over Adam
Whitefield.
However, the visitors edged ahead following Lee
Woods win over Daniel Coughlan, while English captain Billy
Morgan stretched England's advantage to 3-1 with a 23-3 win over
Paul Nolan.
Dublin lightweight Gavin Keating reduced the
deficit after recording a well deserved decision over Joe
Rogers, rocking the Parsons Cross fighter back into a neutral
corner with a thudding left hook in the second frame en route to
victory.
But Belfast's James Ferrin lost out to Craig
Greenwood and Larry Fryers lost to Craig Callaghan in the
second light welterweight contest of the evening to leave the
scoring at 5-2- to England.
Fryers gave it everything he had in this fur
rounder which saw both boxers received public warnings in the
fourth. However, Callaghan held out to record a hard fought win.
Finn Valley ace Jason Quigley reduced to
arrears to two bouts at the expense of Ben Falaja. Quigley
was 3-0 up at one stage but Falaja went 4-3 ahead in the
fourth before three stiff rights from Quigley sealed a 6-4
win.
John Joe Joyce then chalked up a hard fought
6-3 win over Thomas Jones, both boxers were tied at 1-1 at
the end of the first but Joyce got ahead and stayed ahead to
the final bell.
Donegal middleweight Stephen O'Reilly
meanwhile, came from behind to level the overall scoring at
5-5 at the expense of Frank Buglioni of the Repton club in
London.
O'Reilly was in top form in this contest,
holding his ground in the face of some heavy ordinance from
the Londoner to land some clean shots of his own,
particularly in the third and fourth rounds when the bout
was in the balance.
England's Mike Fielding and Ireland's Ciaran
McAuley traded victories to leave the international tied at
6-6, McCauley taking a standing count seconds from the final
bell of a hard hitting cruiserweight decider.
And Galway heavyweight Patrick Corcoran
worked well behind his jab to edge Ireland ahead for the
first time - and also ensure the hosts couldn't be beaten -
after Karl Tiernaey retired injured in round four. Corcoran
was 5-2 up.
Moate super heavyweight Joe Joyce sealed the
win for Ireland with an impressive 12-2 victory Jack
Radford.
