Castlerea’s Aoife O’Rourke through to European Championship final

Shannon Sweeney and Aoife O’Rourke are both guaranteed at least silver medals at the European Championships.

Sweeney beat Armenia’s Anush Grigoryan by unanimous decision to advance to the light-flyweight final.

And O’Rourke got the better of a split decision in her middleweight semi-final with Busra Isildar (pr: Boosh-rah Ish-ildar) of Turkey.

But Kellie Harrington and Niamh Fay have to settle for bronze after losing their respective semi-finals.
