David loses out in final
On Friday evening last young David Kocjan stepped into the ring in the National Stadium in Dublin for an All-Ireland Final bout in the 68 kg category. The culmination of a though season where David trained as hard as he possibly could and had been performing incredibly well in the ring all boiled down to just three short rounds.
Round one saw David land some great blows on his opponent from Ballina, Pete Maughan, as did round two but round three was where he came into his own and finished off the fight on a strong note.
Sadly, a split decision result did not go in David’s favour, and he lost the bout.
Not the end to the season David, his family or the club would have wished for, but on reflection, in his first-year boxing David became county and Munster champion as well as All Ireland finalist, an amazing achievement and one that he should be so proud of.
The future is looking bright for David, and we know he will continue to bring titles back to the club and community.
