Lisa Kearney secured Northern Ireland's first medal of the Commonwealth Games with a win over Canadian Audree Francis-Methot in the bronze-medal match of the women's under-52kgs judo this evening.
Kearney, 25, forced a submission from her opponent with 32 seconds of the contest remaining.
She had beaten South African number one Sinothanda Mva in her quarter-final but lost to England's Kelly Edwards in the semi-final.
Edwards had to settle for a silver medal as she was beaten by Scotland's Louise Renicks in the final.
