Dunfanaghy ABC welcome competitive boxing’s return on Wednesday evening with a bumper tournament.

Action gloves off at 8pm at the Ozanam Centre with 15 top contests down for decision as Dunfanaghy welcome an Ulster selection.

Cormac Hall, a recently crowned Ulster champion, takes on Carrickmore’s John McCartan in one of the night’s eagerly awaited showdowns.

Hall overcame McCartan last month in an Under-18 57kgs bout in Clonmany to take the Ulster crown and their rematch promises sparks aplenty.

Luke Kelly, a recent winner at the North West Zones, is another to look out for and his tussle with Clonmany’s Conan Kearney should light the touch paper.

The tournament is sponsored by Grafters Gym, Letterkenny.
