Donahies fourth year students this year have thrown themselves into an intensive 12 week boxing programme in connection with the National Boxing Association and Dublin City Council. Coach Noel Burke trained a group of students for 6/7 weeks on the basics such as footwork, speed, hand eye coordination and specific boxing skills such as the jab. 14 students trained a further 4 weeks in the National boxing stadium with different students from other schools in the region. 6 students went on to compete and fight in the final showcase on the 3rd of December: Ryan Dillon, Callum Darcy, Andrew Keegan, Shauna Ryan Walsh and Omia Ben Gerid. All had great performances. Those students were presented with a medal and prestigious gold level award.
