14 National Senior Cadet champions were crowned this afternoon following a programme of top class finals at the National Stadium in Dublin.
Barry Corrigan, Michael Nevin and Paddy McCarthy were the first to taste glory, all three boxers recording hard fought wins over their respective opponents.
James Tennyson meanwhile, continued to impress with a fine 14- 2 victory over Dealgan Carlin and Ryan McKeown edged out Enda Kennedy by the odd point in nine.
Christy Joyce, Chris Mullaly and Michael Reilly also finished on top of the podium, the trio recording impressive margins of victory.
Light middleweight Joe Ward withstood a late spirited fight-back from Anthony Coyle to finish on top by a one point margin.
Eddie Byrne, Michael Ward and Jack Morrissey also emerged victorious, Morrissey preventing a Ward hat-trick with a 3-2 win over Charlie Ward.
Eoin Hannon and Thomas Waite both received walkovers.
Ten semi-finals were decided in the morning, yielding five finals for Sunday morning.
Stephen Mulholland and Derek Potter produced the bout of the last four deciders, Mulholland pulling away in the final frame to claim victory from a top class straw-weight encounter.
Never-say-die Stephen Quinn staged one of the comebacks of the tournament. Trailing 5-1 to Glen Brogan going into the final frame the Eastside teenager scored five points without reply to march into the 50Kg final.
Boxing begins at 11am on Sunday.
