Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>A young Killarney boxer is on the brink of the biggest fight of his prodigious career.</h3>
Jamesie Casey (14) from Hazlewood Drive will fight for the All Ireland &lsquo;Boys 4&rsquo; title in the National Stadium in Dublin on Friday night.
 He will face Martin Sweeney of the Galway-based Olympic Boxing Club in the title decider.
 Casey won his quarter final and semi &ndash; both by unanimous decision &ndash; last weekend. He beat Ulster champion Liam Ward in Sunday&rsquo;s semi. Casey has previously won the &lsquo;Boys 3&rsquo; and &lsquo;Boys Cadet&rsquo; title but faces one of his toughest rivals ever this weekend. Sweeney&rsquo;s club mates include sister Aoife and World Boxing Champion Lisa O&#8217;Rourke and Olympic hopeful Gabriel Dossen.
 &ldquo;I am feeling very good, I am very sharp and very fit,&rdquo; he told the Killarney Advertiser.
 His Connacht champion rival has not fought in the National Stadium before &ndash; something Casey hopes to capitalise on.
 &ldquo;I am used to the stadium and the atmosphere after last weekend, I got rid of the ring rust.&rdquo;
 Casey is not the only boxer competing in the National Stadium this weekend.
 Leah Sheehan is boxing in the &lsquo;Girls 4&rsquo; 66kg class final while Newbridge-based Killarney fighter Alana O&rsquo;Brien will contest the &lsquo;Girls 4&rsquo; 49kg final on Friday too.
