Agony for Irving as Illies Golden Gloves ace is pipped in Cadet final

THERE was agony for Carleigh Irving in the Irish Senior Cadet finals tonight.

The Illies Golden Gloves pocket rocket was beaten by Kanturk’s Katie O’Keefe in the 48kgs final at the National Stadium.

Irving, a European Schoolgirl bronze medalist last year came out on the wrong side of a 3-2 split decision at the National Stadium.

Iring was the sole Donegal representative to qualify for the finals meaning the county’s punchers are without a title from these Championships.
