MEDAL ALERT – Dominic Barrett steps onto European Schools podium
A new Barrett is doing it out of Galway.
Dominic Barrett stepped into the International spotlight this evening as he claimed European Schools bronze at the very least.
The Titans 70kg operator cemented his status as a prospect of note with a brilliant performance and a 5-0 win over Turkey’s Ibrahim Taksin in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The five-time Irish champion will now box for silver on Thursday.
There was no quarter-final joy for 75kg Ethan Duffy, 50kg Francis Maughan or 48kg Christy Joyce, as they lost there respective last eight clashes.
The victory increases Ireland’s medal tally to seven as Barret joins Ruth Dossen, Alannah Murphy, Aleigha Murphy, Vanessa Doyle, Kayla Harris and Robin O’Reilly as a medal winner.
