Christina Desmond admitted she was overwhelmed after winning the 13th Echo Sportswoman of the Year Award yesterday.
The Macroom southpaw (Fr Horgan’s BC) picked up the accolade at the Cork Airport Hotel
The Irish Youth Olympian won two national Elite belts in 2019 and was only beaten in the 2019 World and European Elites in Siberia and Spain by the eventual champions, Turkey’s Busenaz Surmeneli and Russia’s Darima Sandakova.
“I’m overwhelmed, it is a great honour,” the Cill na Martra welterweight told the Echo after claiming the award for a second time.
“There are loads of talented athletes inside there and they are top class, excelling at their own event and in their own sports.”
Michael O’Brien, President of the Cork Board, hailed Desmond’s performances in domestic and international competition in 2019 and congratulated the Irish titlist on her award.

It was high fives all the way for Belfast lightweight John McConnell at the National U/18s finals at the Stadium tonight.
The Holy Trinity BC stand out beat Aodhan Byrne of the Kilcullen BC in Dublin to claim the 60kg belt in his fifth win of the tournament – and his fifth 5-0 unanimous decison of the Championships.
Head coach Michael Hawkins hailed O’Connell’s performances after a cracking decider with Byrne.

Antrim bantam Martin Brady-McCullagh recorded his fourth successive victory to top the 56kg rostrum and was followed onto the winner’s podium by Tipperary’s Ellie Mai-Gartland and Cork’s Leanne Murphy.
Raphoe BC ace Leah Gallen, a two-time European medallist, beat Shelby Myers on a split decision and was congratulated by her fellow Donegal boxer and World title contender Jason Quigley, Ireland’s first male boxer to reach a World Elite final in 2013.
Dublin Docklands pair Matthew Tyndall and James Whelan and Patrick Lawlor and Bethany Doocey also celebrated victory tonight, along with Jack Marley and Patrick Myers.
Dominic O’Rourke, President of the IABA, praised the performances of all athletes at 94-bout Championships.
