Grace Gonway added to her glittering medal collection in the Czech Republic.

The talented and decorated claimed European U19 bronze at the very least with victory over the home favourite on Sunday.

The 10-time Irish title winner steps back onto the European podium after defeating Julie Polednikova in the featherweight category.

The medal is Dowling’s second at continental level. The Tredagh talent, who was too strong, fast, and accurate for her quarter-final opponent, is already a European Youth silver medalist and was honest about her gold aspirations going into this tournament.
