NEW WELSH HOPES

TOUCH OF GOLD: Sammy Lee wins the Commonwealths, his first senior event

MICKEY McDONAGH believes that his recent return following a hand injury will see him peak at the right time, as he enters his first senior World championships in Russia next month. The 20-yearold Welshman will travel out to Ekaterinburg alongside his fellow countryman Sammy Lee, as both look to stake their claim for a spot at the Olympics in Tokyo next Summer.

“I’ve been out of the ring for a long time. I feel refreshed and have been back sparring for three weeks, where I’ve been doing well, so I do think that when I get out to Russia, I’ll be hitting top form at exactly the right time,” McDonagh said.
