EUROPEAN SCHOOLBOY C'SHIPS FINALS RESULTSSaturday, July 16, 2011 at 6:07PM
John Joyce
The Irish team
are due to arrive home at 5.30pm Sunday via Dublin Airport
John Joyce claimed gold at the European Schoolboy
Championships following a magnificent light-flyweight
victory over Miroslav Peshkov of Russia in Grozny, Russia
today.
The Moate BC (Westmeath) club-man finished on top of
the podium following a 3-2 decision over the Russian in the
48Kg final.
But Galway's James Cleary and Matthew Burke had to
settle for a silver medal each after losing out 5-1 and
11-2 to Russia's Gabriel Muzaev and Arthur Germanovich despite
brave performances in the 44.5Kg and 76kg finals.
Cleary, who boxes out of the Olympic BC, was 1-0 up
at the end of the first, but Muzaev went 3-1 ahead before
the end of the second and accumulated two additional
points in the third.
 Matthew
BurkeBurke, from the Ballinrobe BC in Mayo, was 1-0 and 5-1 down at the end of rounds one and two.
Joyce and Peshkov shared the first frame
0-0. However, Joyce took the second 2-1 and drew the third
1-1 en route to an historic gold medal.
Today's win arrives one year after Joyce was denied
a place in the 2010 European Schoolboy Championships final
following a highly controversial 1-0 "loss" to Ivan Dubovik
of Russia in Yambol city, Bulgaria.
Joyce, who clearly won that contest, was
subsequently presented with the boxer of the tournament
award.
Speaking directly after the 2010 semi-final, Joyce,
showing remarkable maturity for such a young man, wished
Dubovik the best of luck in the final and vowed that he'd be
back to win gold at the 2011 European Schoolboy
Championships.
The Moate BC stand out remained true to his word
today and now has the distinction of having won gold and
bronze and the boxer of the tournament award at the 2010 and
2011 European Schoolboy Championships.
Today's win also capped what has been an historic
summer for the Moate BC.
In June, 17-year-old AIBA World Youth champion
Joe Ward of the Moate BC became one of the youngest gold
medal winners in the 87-year history of the European Senior
Championships after finishing on top of the
light-heavyweight podium in Ankara, Turkey.
James Cleary
Meanwhile, Ireland will now be taking home one gold,
two silver and five bronze medals from Grozny.
Joyce, Cleary, Burke, Craig Bonney, Lewis Crocker,
Sean Conroy, Keelan Sexton and Tiernan Bradley finished in
podium positions.
The rest of the 18-strong squad also played their
part in what has been another very successful European
venture for Irish boxing.
The Irish team are due to arrive home at 5.30pm
Sunday via Dublin Airport.

BURKE ADVANCES AT EUROPEAN SCHOOLBOYS C'SHIPFriday, July 15, 2011 at 5:19PM Sean
Conroy (red)
Mayo's Martin Burke guaranteed himself at least a silver
medal at the European Schoolboy Championships in Grozny, Russia
following a magnificent semi-final win this afternoon.
But Craig Bonney, Lewis Crocker, Sean Conroy and Keelan
Sexton bowed out of the tournament at the semi-final
stage despite gallant performances in the Chechen capital.
Burke, who boxes out of the Ballinrobe BC, beat Muhammed
Canpolat of Turkey 3-0 in the 76Kg category. All the scores
coming in the first two rounds of this 76Kg duel, Conroy opening
up a 1-0 lead in the first and sealing the win with two points
in the second.
He now joins his Irish team-mates James Cleary and John
Joyce in Saturday's finals just one win away from gold. All
three Irish boxers will meet Russian opponents in Saturday's
deciders.
Meanwhile, Bonney gave as good as he got but was somehow
adjudged to have lost 13-2 to Bogdan Kraev of the host nation,
while Crocker was desperately unlucky to be edged out 1-0 by
Rovshan Musayev of Azerbaijan, who found the winning score in
the final round.
 Craig
Bonney with his Grandad and IABA President Tommy Murphy
Conroy was tied at 2-2 with Vitaly Bakhmatov of Russia
at the end of the first. However, Bakhmatov - aided an abetted
by a harsh public warning handed out to Conroy for dropping his
head - took a 5-3
lead into the third. Both boxers then registered one
point each in the final frame.
Keelan also represented his country with pride this
afternoon. The West Clare BC stand out was in against Isa
Shahmanov but lost out to the Russian in the 68Kg class.
Today's results confirm that Ireland will be taking
home at least three silver medals and five bronze medals
from Grozny.

Bonney with his Grandfather and IABA President Tommy Murphy
Ireland secured another three bronze medals - at least -
at the European Schoolboy Championships following a hat-trick of
quarter-finals wins in Grozny, Russia today.
Craig Bonney, Sean Conroy and Matthew Burke registered
last-eight victories this afternoon and will be taking home at
least a bronze medal each from the Chechen capital.
The wins arrive 24-hours after James Cleary, John Joyce,
Tiernan Bradley, Lewis Crocker and Keelan Sexton won their
quarter-final duels.
 Sean
Conroy (red)
The combined victories means that the 18-strong Irish
squad are guaranteed at least eight bronze medals from the
17-nation tournament.
Trinity Boys ace Bonney claimed Ireland's sixth medal at
the Championships following a 7-4 decision over Turkish
bantamweight Onur Arsha. Bonney commanded a 1-0 advantage at the
bell for the end of the first, was 4-3 ahead at the end of the
second and produced a fine final frame to book his ticket into
the semi-finals.
Conroy made it seven podium finishes for the boys in
green, the Ballyhaunis BC star running out a convincing 5-1
victory over Aleksa Vyachesiav of Azerbaijan. Conroy was always
in control of this contest and obliged Vyachesiav to take a
standing count in the third.
Burke completed the hat-trick after Sergey Zelenskiy's
corner retired their boxer in the second. Burke, of the
Ballinrobe BC, shared to first round 3-3 with the Ukrainian -
who received public warnings in the first and second frames -
and was 6-3 up and dominating when Zelenskiy was retired.
 Patrick
Joyce (red)
St Michael's Athy prospect Willie Donoghue bowed out
following a 7-3 loss to Ruslan Zubachug of the Ukraine. Zubachug
was 3-0 up after the first and maintained his three
point cushion going into a third after opening up a 5-2
advantage. Donoghue, of the St Michael's Athy BC, pulled another
point back in the final frame but the Ukrainian added another
two points to his margin.
Patrick Joyce, who boxes out of the Ryston BC, produced
an heroic final round but was edged by one point by Huseyn
Tariverdiyev of Azerbaijan. Trailing 3-0 after the first and 4-1
after the second, Joyce came out with all guns blazing in the
third but Tariverdiyev survived to shade a 5-4 verdict.
Chris O'Callaghan/Walsh bowed out to Anvar Garayev of
Azerbaijan in the 56Kg class. The Glengormley BC prospect gave
it everything in this contest but lost out 8-2.
The semi-finals will be held tomorrow and Friday. The
finals will be held Saturday. The semi-final draw will available

EUROPEAN SCHOOLBOY C'SHIPS -UPDATED Monday, July 11, 2011 at 2:33PM Ireland recorded three wins out of eight on the opening day of the 2011 European Schoolboy Championships in Grozny, Russia.  Willie
Donoghue
Willie Donoghue, Oliver McCarthy and Craig
Bonney all had their hands raised in victory this
afternoon.
But James McGivern, Eugene McKeever, James
Keenan, Gary Ward and Cormac Long bowed out despite
brave performances at the Sports Complex in the
Chechen capital.
 Eugene
McKeever
Donoghue got Ireland's campaign off to a
flying start earlier today.
The St Michael's Athy ace produced a fine
performance to come from being 2-1 down after the
first to beat Altuntas Volkan of Turkey 6-2.
Donoghue was joined in the next round by
Cork's Oliver McCarthy. The Brian Dillon's
BC prospect shared the first frame of his 40Kg clash
with Vdrdnik Allaksandr 0-0 before registering the
only two points of the second and adding a third to
his tally in the final round versus the tall
Belarusian.
Meanwhile, Trinity Boys stand out Bonney
recorded the biggest win of the day for Ireland, a
7-1 decision over Michall Vasiakov of Belarus
emphasising the Irish bantamweight's dominance.
McGivern and McKeever agonisingly bowed out
following 1-0 reversals to opponents from Belarus
and Azerbaijan, while Keenan was beaten by an
Azerbaijani opponent.
