Shaun Doohan continued his great form in 2026 by winning his third Irish title this year on Saturday.
The Dunfanaghy BC fighter was crowned National U19 85kg champion when he defeated Stephen Murphy (Celtic Eagles) by RSC in Round 2 of their final.
It was another impressive showing from Doohan who has already collected national titles at Under 17 and Youth 2 level this year.
Doohan’s clubmate Carys McFadden was hailed as the National Under 19 46kg champion by way of walkover.
Nainci McMonagle, also of Dunfanaghy, had a great semi-final win on Friday but had to settle for silver in the 57kg weight division after losing out to Leah Moore from Cabra.
It wasn’t to be for Dungloe’s Alesha Mullis Boyle in her bid to win the Under 19 65kg crown as she was second best against Grace Bailey (Castlebar).
Caoimhin Connolly (Twin Towns) also had to settle for silver after losing out against Kristian Jubani (Crumlin) in his 50kg final.
