It was a dream come true for Michaela Walsh as she won Commonwealth Games gold amid a dominant display from Northern Ireland in Sunday’s boxing finals.
The nation won an incredible five gold medals across the day, with Dylan Eagleson kicking off the gold rush after beating Ghana’s Abraham Mensah in the morning.
Amy Broadhurst and Jude Gallagher were also victorious, but for siblings Michaela and Aidan Walsh it was an extra special evening as they both took gold after falling short of the top prize at previous Commonwealth Games.
Aidan Walsh upgraded his 2018 Gold Coast silver after winning against Mozambique’s Tiago Osorio Muxanga in the light middleweight final, and it was third time lucky for his sister who had previously won silver twice in 2018 and at Glasgow 2014.
