Terrific Taylor lands another gold

IT was high fives all round for Katie Taylor on Saturday night after she claimed her fifth European Senior title in a row in Rotterdam.

A 10-5 decision over Russia’s two-time world champion Sofya Ochigava saw the Bray woman, who is also the world and EU lightweight champion, secure her 12th majorinternational gold medal at the European Championships.

Saturday’s verdict was sweet revenge for the 25-year-old who was controversially adjudged to have lost to the Russian southpaw at a Grand Prix in the Czech Republic last year.
