Kellie Harrington produced a dominant display to book her place in the final of the women's lightweight (60kg) division at the European Games in Poland.

Having already secured her spot at next summer's Olympic Games in Paris, some of the pressure was off for Harrington who will now fight for a gold medal after her victory over France's Estelle Mossely.

There was no tension or doubt about the outcome once the final
