BOXING: Killimordaly's Louise Creaven with Galway Bay FM's John Mulligan after her BUI Irish Super Lightweight title bout in Cork

BOXING: Christina Desmond with Galway Bay FM's John Mulligan after winning the BUI Irish Super Lightweight Belt against Louise Creaven

Despite a brave effort in an epic contest on a historic night at the Parochial Hall Arena in Cork on Friday night (9th October 2026), Killimordaly's Louise Creaven came up the wrong side of the judges' scorecards as home favourite Christina Desmond was crowned the first ever winnner of an Irish women's professional title fight.

Both boxers left everything in the ring before it finished 99-92, 99-91, 99-91 to Christina Desmond, but Louise Creaven played a major part in another massive milestown for Irish women's boxing.

Galway Bay FM's commentator was John Mulligan.

Despite a strong start with a Sean Jansen try, Connacht left Scotstoun Stadium in defeat again as Glasgow Warriors ran out 17-point winners in the BKT United Rugby Championship on Friday evening (9th October 2026).

Josh Ioane ran in two second half tries to give the visitors a glimmer of hope but they struggled to deal with the home side's running maul.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Rob Murphy and William Davies.
