The barrister talks about her battle with anorexia.

WHEN MARY-KATE Slattery realised that her anorexia was a โ€œbuild-up of unhappinessโ€ in herself, she was able to land the first blows in her battle with the illness.

Since discovering a love of boxing, the law student has not looked back and aims, one day, to be the first Irish pro boxer and barrister.

This is her story.

FLYEfit will soon unveil their brand new flagship gym at The Vaults, CHQ. Located in the heart of the IFSC, it includes free weights, racks, Olympic lifting and much more in a unique setting from just โ‚ฌ29 per month.

    Really? They played a team wit zero decent forwards and an all around ageing team. Croatia offerd zero goal treat what so ever and for once their brilliant defence was shocking. Messi was excellent but Croatia made it easy. If they get France in the final would b a different story.

    @Martin Glynn: Fair comment but youโ€™d wonder if a certain momentum isnโ€™t with Argentina?

    @Martin Glynn: I dunno, France showed no work rate and no willingness to press or fight to win the ball back in the England game and probably deserved to loose it. Big contrast with how Argentina have played. If France give Argentina the same space and time on the ball 25yards from goal as they did Vs England, Argentina will score goals. Of course maybe France will bring a different mindset to a final, IF they get there!!
