The U18 & U22 National men's and women's boxing championships finals take place tomorrow in Dublin.

Unlike the senior elites from earlier in the year when five Waterford boxers secured places in the finals, these championships will see just two Déise athletes step through the ropes.

All eyes are on Seamis McDonagh who competed in those senior championships. The St. Paul's man is aiming to defend his title at 63.5kg when he faces Jamie Gray of St Monica's in the decider.

Seamie has been in Dublin the last two weekends where he coasted through his quarter and semi-final bouts.

Earlier in the running order, Saviour's Crystals Chantelle Robinson is also in action. She faces Daina Moorehouse if Enniskerry in the 50kg final. With only two fighters entered in the weight class, both go straight through to the deciding bout.
