Ulster Elite Senior Championships – SEMI-FINAL RESULTS
The semi finals of the 2019 Ulster Elite Senior Championships have been completed following a big night of action in Belfast.
Nine fights were decided at the Dockers Club to set up the big finals night on Saturday 19th at the Ulster Hall.
Making her return from long-term injury, Donna Barr opened the night with a win over Emma Feeney before Jack O’Neill edged Diarmuid Toland in their light fly semi.
John Paul Hale dominated reigning bantam champ Eamon McNally in the first featherweight bout held in Ireland since the AIBA’s recalibration of the weight limits while Commonwealth Youth bronze medallist Colm Murphy beat Irish Intermediate runner-up Conor Kerr in the corresponding semi.
The new 63kg light welterweight class then saw wins for former Irish U22 champ Dylan Duffy and Commonwealth bronze medallist James McGivern.
Last year’s welterweight runner-up Brett McGinty set up a final with Fearghus Quinn following a win over Eraid Muihai before Scorpion heavy Karol Dulgloz stopped Cathal Morrow.
Stephen McMonagle then rounded off the night with a 4-1 win over Denis Borskins.
