Last night the Girls boxing Championships were held at the National Boxing Stadium in Dublin.

37 titles were claimed including South East representation from the likes of Lauren Mullally from Rosslare, Co. Wexford and Leah O'Gorman from Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.

On the night, Carlow's Chloe Black wasn't allowed compete due to the fact that she also partakes in Muay Thai.
