Fighting Irish suffer defeat on the double

Ireland’s winning streak at the World Women’s Elites ended on the wrong end of two split decisions in Ulan-Ude, Siberia yesterday.

Cavan flyweight Ceire Smith was edged 3-2 by North Korea’s world elite champion Mi Choi Pang and Belfast feather Michaela Walsh dropped a 4-1 split to Russia’s Liudmila Vorontsova.
