Christina Desmond, pictured, was presented with her bronze medal at the European Elite Women’s Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria today.

The Cork southpaw was adjudged to have lost to Maily Nicar in yesterday’s 75kg semi-final, the French middleweight receiving a split decision.

Nicar was beaten in today’s final by England’s Natasha Gale.

Russia won four gold and four bronze to top the medals table at the final AIBA ranking event of 2016.

Desmond, courtesy of her bronze medal win, will pick up 300 Elite AIBA  ranking points.

Team Ireland are scheduled to arrive home from Sofia via Dublin Airport at 4.50pm tomorrow afternoon (November 24th).

Christina Desmond,pictured, bowed out of the European Women’s Elite Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria today after being adjudged to have lost to Maily Nicar.

 

The French middleweight was awarded a split decision and will now meet England’s Natasha Gales, who beat Wales’ Lauren Price in the corresponding semi-final, in Wednesday’s 75kg decider.

 

Desmond – her straight lefts and lefts hooks consistently finding the target – had excellent first, second and fourths round this afternoon, while the hard-working Nicar might have arguably  shaded the third.

 

Desmond’s cleaner and more solid shots, however, were the outstanding feature of a thrilling four-rounder.

 

The Cork southpaw, an Irish Youth Olympian and World Youth silver medallist who beat Holland’s Olympic silver medallist Nouchka Fontijn this year, will be bringing home a bronze from Sofia.

 

She joins an illustrious  group of three Irish female boxers which includes Katie Taylor (6 gold) and Clare Grace (one bronze) who have medalled at this level.

 

The podium finish for the Fr. Horgan stand out  also bridges a 33-year gap for Leeside boxing since two-time Olympian Kieran Joyce of the Sunnyside BC won European bronze, also in Bulgaria, in 1983.

 

Today’s decision brings Ireland’s competitive interest in the 10th European Women’s Elite Championships to a close.

 

Desmond will be presented with her medal tomorrow.
