Two Donegal boxers impressed hugely on Friday night on their way to winning National Under-17 titles at the National Stadium in Dublin.
Dungloe boxer Mullis Boyle dominated her final, defeating Grace Bailey of Castlebar BC, Mayo 5-0 in the 66kg final.
And it was a similar scenario for Doohan, who boxes out of Dunfanaghy BC, as he defeated Martin Collins of Baldoyle BC, Dublin 5-0 in the 80kg final.
In all, 130 boxers from 73 clubs competed at the tournament across a two-week period.
