In the Semi- Finals Cian boxed T.O'Reilly from St Michael Athy and got going from the first bell and worked on O'Reilly with body and head combinations, coming out on the right side with 4/1 decision. In the final Cian’s opponent Patrick Stocks was at least four inches taller than Cian but Cian put the pressure on Stocks from the first bell. Cian used his boxing skills for all three rounds and made history for Monivea Boxing Club.
Eleven year old Cian Dolan hand was raised to the air, winning on 3/2 decision.
