Notably, three Enniscorthy locals emerged as champions, underscoring the town’s strong presence and talent in the sport.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners of the event, including Raymond from Dublin, Prince Fa from Enniscorthy Boxing Club, and Byron Jordan from Ferns.

The event was not only a sporting success but also a charitable one, raising a total of €2,100. Funds were raised for The Bukky Foundation, set up in memory of Olubukoye ‘Bukky’ Abidoye. Their mission is “to support families who have experienced the sudden loss of a loved one and to provide assistance to single parent families struggling to cope with such a loss.”

Organiser Mick was quick to also thank many local businesses who helped with sponsorship on the night:

“A sincere thank you goes out to our generous sponsors too. They were Mizziona Pizza Enniscorthy, Anthony Dobbs Electrical, The Whitehouse Pub, and Weather Seal. Special appreciation is also extended to Know How Media Agency, based in Gorey, for capturing the event through their excellent photography,” he told Wexford Weekly.
