Sligo kickboxers coming home with six Euro medals



Kickboxers from county Sligo will be returning home from this week’s WAKO European Championships in Montenegro with six medals.

Lucy Conlon Oates won a silver and bronze.

Her sister Halle also claimed a silver medal.

There were also bronze medals this week for Kyle Keaney – and for the Scanlon brothers Leo and PJ.

Kickboxing is set to be introduced as an exhibition sport at the next Olympic Games in Paris in three years time – which gives the Ireland team members a fresh target to aim for.
