Nolan bows out after brave fight
Wednesday March 03 2010
FORMER BALLAGH boxer, Adam Nolan, put in a huge performance before going out to reigning champion, Willie McLoughlin, in their National Senior welterweight quarter-final at the National Stadium on Friday night last.
Now boxing out of the Bray club under trainer Pete Taylor, father and trainer of World ladies' champion, Katie, Nolan gave a hugely-impressive performance even in defeat.
McLoughlin, from Buncrana, came out on top in what was an excellent contest, but Nolan showed that he has a bright future in the sport.
Having started out in the St. Ibar's/St. Joseph's club under now national coach, Willie Walsh, Nolan won three Irish titles.
Last year he went on to win a gold medal in Vancouver, Canada, in the World Police championships. Now he is looking forward to representing the Gardaí in New York on St. Patrick's Day.
Coach Pete Taylor has predicted a bright future for young Nolan who is a Garda based in Bray.
