Enniskerry flyweight Daina Moorehouse gave a classy performance on her debut at the Olympic qualification tournament in Bangkok to ease her way into the last 16 in the 50kg class.

Singularly unfortunate not to win her clutch fights at both the European Games last year in Poland and again at the first Olympic qualifier in Italy in the spring this is the 22-year old’s final chance to make the Paris Olympics.
