IRELAND WIN THREE BRONZE IN MOSCOW

Ireland's boxers claimed thee bronze medals - at least - from a day of pulsating quarter final action at the 2010 European Senior Championships in Moscow.

Ken Egan, Darren O'Neill and the new kid on the block, Tyrone McCullagh are all guaranteed podium positions at the Ice Palace.

Both boxers were tied at 6-6 going down the final stretch, but O'Neill, the current European Union champ, snatched victory from the jaws of a count-back with a tremendous right in the final two seconds

Egan, meanwhile, added to his impressive CV with a 7-4 win over Ainar Karlson, a kick boxing specialist in his native Estonia. Egan boxed well within himself in this light-heavyweight clash to add the the European bronze he won in Bulgaria in 2006.

Donegal prospect Tyrone McCullagh got the day off to a positive start for Ireland with a 6-3 verdict over Azat Hovhannisyan of Armenia.

The Illies GG club-man was leading 4-1 going into the final round of this featherweight encounter and added another two points to his tally to seal a deserved win.
