World champ Kellie Harrington tops stellar field to win Sportswoman of the Year

World champion boxer Kellie Harrington was overcome with emotion at winning the 2018 The Irish Times Sport Ireland Sportswoman of the Year award yesterday.

Given the amount of international success garnered by Irish female athletes this year, it was the most competitive ever of the 15-year-old award scheme, so the Dublin lightweight was particularly bowled over to come out top.
