    Team Northern Ireland boxers Michaela Walsh and Kaci Rock both had to settle for Commonwealth Games silver medals as they lost their respective finals by unanimous decision.

    Holy Family fighter Walsh, who has earned a medal in each of her four successive Games appearances, has claimed a third silver after also coming second in 2014 and 2018.

    But she missed out on the chance to add a second gold to the one she won in Birmingham four years ago after being outclassed by Jaismine.

    The decorated 33-year-old also won gold in 2022, and joins bowler Neil Booth, shooter Martin Millar plus Mike Bull and Lady Mary Peters from athletics on four medals.

    Only shooter David Calvert has won more medals with eight, four of which were gold.

    Three of the five judges scored the fight 29-28 while the other two gave it 30-27 with all in favour of Jaismine.

    Walsh made a slow start and had an uphill battle after a cagey first round which she lost 3-2.

    The second was a much closer affair and while she went all out for the stoppage in the third, her efforts were in vain as Jaismine did enough to win and claim the gold.

    Rock comes away from her first Games with NI’s fourth silver after falling short against England’s Sacha Hickey.

    Hickey just had too much for 23-year-old Rock in an entertaining encounter, with four judges scoring it 30-27 and one 29-28 for the English fighter.

    She edged the first two rounds and pushed on in the third to comfortably take victory.

    Jon McConnell has the chance to add boxing’s first gold of these Games when he fights Wales’ Orlando Holley-Sotomi in the men’s light-middleweight final at 13:15 BST.
