(AUG 6) Kelly Harrington bowed out of
the EU Championships in Liverpool last night after she was beaten
10-6 by Romanian light welterweight Larisa Rosu.
Harrington had been hoping to join Debbie Rogers and Katie Taylor in
the last four, thus guaranteeing herself at least bronze.
But despite a brave showing from the Irish woman at the Greenpark
Sports Arena, it was Rosu that advanced.
Light flyweight Debbie Rogers got Ireland's EU Championships
campaign off to a positive start with an impressive 10-6 win over
Sandra Silva of Portugal on Monday.
Rogers, who is now guaranteed at least bronze, advances to meet
Virginie Nave of France in tomorrow evenings semi final.
Meanwhile, Lightweight Katie Taylor, the reigning World and European
champion, received a bye straight into the last four where she will
box Sandra Kruk of Poland on Thursday, not Wednesday as originally
reported.
