Fionnuala Britton’s brave bid to win a medal at the European Athletics Championships in only her second ever 10,000m race fell narrowly short in Helsinki today.

DERVAL O’ROURKE, who has yet to win at Cork City Sports, again faces a huge assignment when she lines up alongside Olympic bronze medallist Priscilla Lopes-Schlep from Canada in the 100m hurdles at the CIT Track on Saturday.

DERVAL O’ROURKE has been offered a lane in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Golden League meeting in Zurich next Friday night.
