Hundreds of people have welcomed European boxing champion Aoife O'Rourke to her hometown of Castlerea following her latest international success.

The 25-year-old was welcomed back to a large crowd at the Hub in the town last night after her victory in the final of the middleweight division on Saturday afternoon.
