Willie Donoghue called into Irish Youth European Squad

Willie Donoghue has replaced Cork’s Luke O’Shea in the Irish squad for next month’s European Youth Championships in Croatia.
 
O’Shea withdrew from the Irish team because of college commitments, and Donoghue, a gold medal winner at the 2013 AIBA World Junior Championships, has been drafted into the nine-strong panel.
 
The Irish squad, combined with a top Antrim selection, will meet a strong-looking  Germany team on an Antrim County Board hosted international in Belfast this Friday and Saturday.
