Irish boxers enjoyed a superb day at the European Games in Poland on Monday, with Kellie Harrington, Amy Broadhurst, Jenny Lehane and Kelyn Cassidy all now just one victory away from Olympic qualification.

Harrington looked back to her brilliant best as she outfoxed and ultimately outclassed Armenia's Elida Kocharyan by unanimous decision at the Nowy Targ Arena. The lightweight (60kg) Olympic champion was much the better fighter throughout, claiming a unanimous 5-0 victory.
