The Hub in Castlerea was the venue for a special night of amateur boxing as Ireland took on Ukraine in a keynote international.
This was the first such international in Ireland in some years and is the culmination of a 5 day dual nation training camp, which also included a two-test match series.
Both teams were at near full strength with Olympians on both sides.
John Mulligan was at the International and spoke to many of the boxers and organisers of a brilliant night in front of a full house of supporters and fans.
