Roisin Hegarty on her way to the European Championships
Roisin Hegarty gets her European Schoolgirls Championships underway on Tuesday.
The Letterkenny native and Illies Golden Gloves boxer is Ireland's 60kgs representative in Banja Luka, Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Hegarty will face Varvara Parshikova from Russia in a quarter-final on Tuesday. A place among the medals is up for grabs when they trade leather.
The winner of that bout will square up to the winner of a quarter-final between Gracie Rochester from England and Turkey's Iremnaz Ozdemir on Thursday.
A daughter of Raymond Hegarty and Norma Tembo, she won the National Junior Cadet title at 60kgs when beating Olivia Farrell from St Brigid's, Edenderry.
Already, Hegarty is a three-time Irish champion and the 12-year-old is part of a 29-strong Irish team for these Championships.
Hegarty won her first national title in 2023, claiming the Girl 1 51kgs honours, and she won the Girl 2 57kgs crown earlier this year.
“It feels very good to be going away now,” Hegarty told Donegal Live. “I'm buzzing for it.
“I really hope I can come back with any medal.”
