Hero’s welcome for golden girl Kellie Harrington

The St Mary’s boxing club was out in force at Dublin Airport yesterday to welcome home newly crowned champion Kellie Harrington and the Irish squad from the 10th AIBA World Women’s Elites in New Delhi, India.

Harrington, who boxes out of the St Mary’s BC in Dublin, topped the lightweight podium at the 10th edition of the tournament after beating Thailand’s Sudaporn Seesondee on a 3-2 split decision at the Indira Gandhi Stadium on Saturday.
