Waterford's Kelyn Cassidy defended his senior elite light heavyweight status last night, to secure a third consecutive title.
The Saviours crystals boxer was a split decision winner over fellow Olympic hopeful Gabriel Dossen.
Cassidy knocked the European gold medalist in the first round, forcing a standing 10 count.
The pair exchanged throughout the contest with Cassidy taking a slight edge to win 4-1 on the scorecards.
Earlier in the night Dungarvan Garda Christina Desmond lost her welterweight final to European Medalist Grainne Walsh.
While Tramore's Zara Breslin was beaten in her lightweight final, where she faced Olympic Champion Kellie Harrington.
It's the second time this year that Breslin has faced the Tokyo Gold Medal winner.
