The Olympic champion is less than a month out from the World Championships having tied the knot with her long-time partner Mandy Loughlin and finalised a deal on a new house

At the launch of SPAR Community Road Trip is SPAR ambassador and Olympic boxing champion Kellie Harrington. SPAR and Kellie are inviting all community groups nationwide to apply for €10,000 in funding and a chance to spend time with Kellie as she tours Ireland on the SPAR Community Road Trip. Applications will open on Wednesday, 20th April, and will remain open for a period of four weeks until Friday, 20th May, find out more about the SPAR Community Road Trip at www.spar.ie. 

Kellie Harrington insists she is ready to zone in on her World Championship bid in Turkey next month after a hectic week that saw her get married and pick up the keys to a new house.

The Olympic champion tied the knot with long-time partner Mandy Loughlin before finalising a deal on a new property in the Fairview area of North Dublin city, but the Worlds in Istanbul are now less than one month away.
