Sacre Coeur Boxing Club enjoying super year
Today at 09:30
2025 has been a tremendous year so far for Sacre Coeur Boxing Club, Enniscorthy.
Leading the way was Oisín Goff, who won a fantastic fourth Irish title in succession, with his little sister, Caitlin, collecting her first in the National Boxing Stadium.
The club is very proud of the duo and have no doubt they will go from strength to strength in their boxing careers.
The club also has another new Irish champion in Nadia Mja, after an outstanding campaign, winning her County, Leinster and Irish championships.
Sacre Coeur had three Irish champions this year, while also securing ten Leinster championships and a record-breaking 16 county championships.
Chairman Frankie Kirwan says the club is moving in the right direction, with new coaches installed over the past few years, bringing a great energy to Sacre Coeur.
The club is already full for the upcoming season in all age groups. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the coaches.

Van der Flier and Ringrose return for Leinster's URC final against the Bulls
LIONS DUO JOSH van der Flier and Garry Ringrose have returned from injury and land straight back into Leinster's starting XV to face the Bulls in Saturday's URC final at Croke Park (5pm, RTÉ). The inclusions of Van der Flier at openside and Ringrose at outside centre are the only two changes to Leo Cullen's starting side who demolished Glasgow in last week's semi-final, with Jamie Osborne moved to the bench and Scott Penny not in the matchday 23. The versatile Osborne's inclusion on the bench means there is no room for Ciarán Frawley, with out-half Ross Byrne set to make his final appearance for the province as a replacement. Jimmy O'Brien continues at fullback in the absence of Hugo Keenan. 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.
