The Irish boxing team celebrated five wins on the trot at the European Union Championships in Denmark lastnight.
Ken Egan completed the high five with a 10-6  quarter final win over Eric Skoglund of Sweden - a win that guarantees the 2008 Olympic silver medalist at least a bronze medal.
EU champions David Oliver Joyce and John Joe Nevin were also winning in their category with John Joe Nevin beating Poland's Mateusz Mazik 13-1in a repeat of the 2008 EU final in Poland which Nevin also won.
Meanwhile, Darren O'Neill and Philip Sutcliffe took the early route to victory, both boxers advanceing after inside the distance victories.
Nevin meanwhile, is facing a tough task tomorrow as he faces English European champion Luke Campbell with a place in the bantamweight semi final up for grabs.
