Congratulations Katie ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐ŸฅŠ๐ŸฅŠ๐ŸฅŠ


Katie Taylor
 claimed redemption with a majority decision victory over Chantelle Cameron in Dublin to become undisputed light-welterweight champion. Taylor and Cameron produced a classic at 3Arena with both boxers trading blows throughout a gruelling 10-round contest that was scored 95-95, 98-92 and 96-94 by the judges

Yeah, saw the match mydelf Pat, from about halfway through the first half
was nip and tuck, but Ireland were always behind. Just wasnt to be...but you'd have to be proud of them...what now for Farrell I wonder... 
... the soccer was a bit different, shafted by a team they should have beaten. Kenny's time is up now I reckon. Bring on Lee Carsley I suppose...

Gerry, you were right about the All Blacks.

Better team on the day.

Opportunities missed by Ireland particularly the missed penalty and them scoring whilst having a man in the sin bin.

But it's not a time to look for faults.

Am very proud of this Irish team.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธ

Found a channel on my TV that showed it live so was up at 3am to watch the game.

These are heady days for Irish rugby.

1. We are No 1 in the world.
2. We've just beaten South Africa who are World Champions.
3. We are top of our World Cup group.

As John Lennon one said "Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These".

Just woke up and thrilled to see Ireland beat South Africa in the WC Rugby.

Some folks here said SA would beat us but I told them "you never beat the Irish".

Some win for Ireland in the rugby World Cup.

Beating Romania 82-8. 

Am sure there's tougher challenges ahead but what a statement to make in your first game.

Indeed it does Sean after that amazing result.

Don't know who the other semi finalists are.

Thanks for your comments.

Read more about it since.

Seems a fair result but for Katie this is not really a loss but an example of how far she's come in the professional boxing world.

She'll always be an Irish sporting icon.

I watched the fight,and was gutted that Katie lost her first professional fight on Irish soil.But her opponent is a great boxer,and I felt she was the better boxer on the night... maybe Katie should stick to her own weight division in future.
