This is an entry that will be regarded as Paulstown history in the years to come. On Saturday 28 July 2012 Paulstown native Darren O’Neill represented Ireland in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Darren is competing in boxing at the 75kg Middleweight event. He won in his first round bout, beating Muideen Akanji from Nigeria on a score of 15-6. On Thursday 2 August he will fight in the Round of 16 against Stefan Hartel of Germany. If he wins this bout he will be one fight away from a least a bronze medal. You can read his personal thoughts about it all on his Twitter account.
