Team Northern Ireland boxer Michaela Walsh had to settle for a third Commonwealth Games silver as she lost to India’s Jaismine Jaismine by unanimous decision.
The Holy Family fighter, 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.
It is NI’s third silver medal of the Glasgow Games after Barry McClements and Daniel Wiffen in the pool and their 11th overall.
Kaci Rock and Jon McConnell have the chance to add boxing’s first two golds of these Games as the two debutants fight later this afternoon.
Rock is up against England’s Sacha Hickey in the women’s welterweight final at 11:45 BST and McConnell will fight Wales’ Orlando Holley-Sotomi in the men’s light-middleweight final at 13:15.
