THE success continued for Immaculata over the weekend as the club was celebrating six winners at the Irish Boy and Girl 1 & 2 Championships in Dublin.
On Saturday, Jude Reilly claimed the 29kg Boy 1 title with a second-round stoppage against Cove's David Quigley. Lee Largey-Snodden was a 4-1 winner against Kristian Jubani, while Kai Daynes forced a third-round stoppage against Daithi Kelly at 44.5kg and Francis Regan was victorious at 46kg, getting the better of Galway's Bernie McDonagh on a 3-2 split.
There were also walkovers for Thomas McFarlane and Carly Voyle who took the Boy 3 29kg and Girl 1 31kg titles respectively.
The performance of the Immaculata team saw them help land the Club of the Tournament award, testament to the work going on at the Divis club under the watchful eye of coaches Gerry 'Nugget' Nugent, Martin Lindsay, Frankie Slane and Alfredo Meli Snr that has produced 10 Antrim, 15 Ulster and seven Irish titles this year.
The club would like to thank the local community who rallied behind their efforts, donating money to help send the team to Dublin that required an overnight stay in the capital.
Glengormley Boxing Club have had a successful couple of months from October to December, culminating in the club's first Irish title in over 10 years, when young Padraig Scott (front, second left) lifted the B1 50kg All-Ireland title last weekend at Drimnagh in Dublin
