MEDAL ALERT – Top Class Robin O’Reilly wins European Schools medal
Robin O’Reilly made it a five-star day for Ireland with an assured and confident European quarter-final win this evening.
The latest talent to emerge from the progressive club stepped onto the European Schools podium with relative ease in Bosnia and Herzegovina, winning 64kg bronze at the very least for her club and country.
O’Reilly became Ireland’s latest medalist at the star-making tournament courtesy of her 5-0 win over Iustina Anufrieva, of Russia.
The teen prospect, who boxes out of the same club as Olympic quarter-finalist Jack Marley, will now box for silver on Thursday.
O’Reilly’s medal win was Ireland’s fifth of a busy day so far, she joins Alannah Murphy, Aleigha Murphy, Vanessa Doyle and Ruth Dossen in the final four of their respective weight classes.
