pic: Tim Lehane from Aubane boxing for Rylane Boxing Club celebrates his victory over Ryan Nolan (Bray) in the Irish Novice Championships 64Kg at the National Stadium in Dublin last Saturday week.

Lehane took the first round 1-0, but Nolan restored parity in the third to tie the light-welter final at 1-1 at the final bell before Lehane’s hand was raised in victory on a razor thin 3-2 countback.

Dean Desmond was hoping to claim two on the trot for the Rylane BC in his 81Kg final with Karl O’Donnell. The Leesider opened up a 1-0 lead against the Dubliner in the first. However, O’Donnell leveled affairs before the bell and both boxers were tied at 3-3 going into the third. It was 4-4 early in the second – and ended up at 5-5 – before O’Donnell shaded a 10-9 countback from one of the bouts of the Championships.
