The Leinster Boxing Championships, catering for boys’ and girls’ categories one, two and three, are to be held at Clann Naofa Boxing Academy on Saturday, March 14.

Referee Martin Sludden argues with Louth manager Peter Fitzpatrick after the 2010 Leinster senior football final at Croke Park, in which Meath robbed The Reds of glory.

But there was still a familiar look to the rest of the result sheet. Almost inevitably it included Damian Maginn winners.

Michael Kelly’s Clogherhead challenger, Beretta Womack, looked promising when taking a semi-final of the novice 400 stake.

It’s good to have a winner, and better, of course, to have a double. And when the two go off at odds of 8/1 and 6/1, well, that’s something to really celebrate, especially if you’re a punter.

The heavy going was no deterrent to favourites in the first part of Saturday night’s card, at Dundalk Stadium.

But for the immense presence of Ardnasool Jet, Blame The Game could well be included on the Bar One Irish Sprint Cup roll of honour.

The Downpatrick handler brought four runners to Saturday night’s meeting, and, yes, all of them trotted up. The four-timer was a follow-on to the winner he had on Friday night.

John Downey’s kennel has one of the best strike rates of those around, and it was improved upon over the weekend at Dundalk Stadium, the Tullyallen-based handler scoring a treble.
