Cavan Football Club Boxing Night 2013
Yonkers
AOH Supports Fellow Hibernian at Charity Boxing Tournament
The members
of Division One were out in force in Woodside Queens this week to support
fellow Hibernian Sean McEvoy as he
took part in a fundraising boxing tournament in support of The Cavan Football
and Social Club of New York. Sean is a
proud member of Division One and the owner of Danny Mac’s Bar in Yonkers.
Here is a Video of Sean's Fight
Members
joined other supporters on the bus trip to St. Mary’s in Woodside and were
treated to 7 amateur fights to raise money for the Cavan Organization. Sean’s fight was ruled a draw by the referee,
but members couldn’t help but feel Sean was the better fighter!

The night
came to an exciting finish as Brother Ronan O’Brien made a surprise guest
appearance as a ring card girl in the final round of the final fight. Scratch one more thing off the bucket list!
