boxing
Four Irish fighters go in search of medals today at the European Elite Championships in Bulgaria.
Michael Conlan, Dean Walsh, Adam Nolan and Joe Ward will all be in action in the quarter-finals and are just one more victory away from securing at least a bronze medal and spots in the World Championship in October.
Raphoe man Peter O’Donnell is Ireland Team Manager for the trip to Samokov.
Peter has taken senior sides to tournaments before but never to a major championship.
Conlan will be the first to step into the ring this afternoon, when he takes-on Frederik Jensen of Denmark at around half-past one he’ll be followed soon after by Dean Walsh.
Adam Nolan and Joe Ward fight in the session starting at 6 o’clock this evening.
