Stokes wins first Irish medal

[mike222]

Ten Irish and two English boxers have made the semis and are guaranteed medals-details later.

Are the schoolboys here the same age as the schoolboys in usa? Wish they had a Tournament like this in The Americas for Schoolboys

[mike222]

They are the same age-all boxers must be born in 1998 or 1999.
As from 1 January 2013 the 1998 boys become juniors,the 1999 boxers remain as schoolboys alongside boxers born in 2000.I feel very old.
