Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>Two young Killarney boxers will contest the National Boy Girl Championship in Dublin this week.</h3>
This juvenile competition is the equivalent of the All-Ireland finals for younger boxers and is being held in the National Boxing Stadium.
 Leah Sheehan from Firies, won the Munster title earlier this month. Last year she finished runner-up in the Munster championship so just missed out on National Championship qualification.
 Jamesie Casey from Ballyspillane finished second in the National Championship last year and will be hoping to go one better this time around.
 Both boxers are members of Sliabh Luachra Boxing Club in Castleisland.
 &ldquo;This is Leah&rsquo;s first time qualifying for the Nationals,&rdquo; her step-father Michael O&rsquo;Sullivan told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;But she is feeling confident.&rdquo;
 Two Tralee-based members of Sliabh Luachra Boxing Club, Patrick McCarthy and Michelle McDonagh, are also contesting the National Championships which get underway on Monday.
