Girl 2, 45kg: Kayla Nevin beat the Leinster champion, 3-2.
Girl 3, 35kg: Louise Joyce beat the Antrim champion, 4-1.
Girl 3, 53kg: Evie Crichton beat the Munster champion, 3-2.

Junior 2, 60kg: Ryan Jenkins beat the Connacht champion, 5-0.
Junior 2, 57kg: Jack McNamee was involved in a controversial decision where one of the judges scored the bout 29-28 in Jack's favour, but later changed his score card when Jack got a warning in last round, which would have made the fight a draw. But having awarded Jack two rounds in the fight, he chose to change and gave the verdict to the Ulster champion.
This was later raised at a meeting and duly corrected, with Jack also awarded the All-Ireland title as he had won the bout on judges score cards, 3-2.
Olympic boxing club Mullingar has now won 14 All-Ireland titles for the year 2023 and 80 in total since they opened in the 2014/2015 season. Next up for Olympic Mullingar is the national Junior and Senior Cadet Championships.
Congratulations to all our boxers and coaches on what was a great championship for the club.
