Conor Wallace, of Sacred Heart Newry ABC, has been named in the Irish Senior Cadet squad for Saturday's international clash with Scotland in Cork.
Wallace will take on Lee Ferns at 63kg in what IABA Director of Boxing Dominic O’Rourke reckons will be a cracking bill.
“It promises to be a very competitive. Scotland are sending over a very talented looking team and we’re all looking forward to what should be a top-class international, ” he said.
Ireland also take on England in a Senior Cadet clash in Cork at the end of this month confirmed Irish coach Billy McClean.
The IABA are building up towards the 2012 European Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in late June.
“We’re looking at the squads at the moment and we’re trying to give our Irish champions a run out at international level, said McClean.
“I have no predictions. It will be a tough, hard international. Scotland always bring a tough team over here.It will be tough, but the boys will be up for this competition.”
