Gold for Barnes and Conlan at Commonwealth Games

Paddy Barnes has secured back-to-back wins in the light flyweight division of the Commonwealth Games, beating India's Devendro Laishram on a unanimous decision at Glasgow's SECC.

Barnes' room-mate, Michael Conlan, also walked away with a gold. The St John Bosco figher beat England's Qais Ashfaq in the bantamweight final.

To win gold, Conlan says he had to dig deep, and that it was his "toughest fight": 

Belfast middleweight Joe Fitzpatrick walked away with a silver medal after a defeat to home favourite Charlie Flynn.

Earlier, Michaela Walsh also had to settle for silver. The Holy Family flyweight was beaten on a controversial split decision by Olympic champion Nicola Adams.

The four boxing medals bring the total number of medals for Team Northern Ireland to twelve.
