ADDS Kenneth Egan makes it to the light heavyweight quarter finals. Michael, glad to include this to dispel a little more gloom but I’m not equipped for a running commentary – unless one of us as Team GB or Ireland or hell whatever, strikes more precious metal.

OLYMPICS UPDATE. Just to dispel a little of the two speed Olympics gloom, it’s a Bronze at least for Belfast’s and Ireland’s Paddy Barnes!, But the way to Gold aint no picnic.

“The Chinese boxer (other finalist Zou Shiming) beat Barnes convincingly in the World Championships in Chicago last year”.
