WORLD indoor 60m champion Derval O’Rourke got her outdoor season off to a flying start before the home fans at The Mardyke on Saturday at the BUPA Cork City Sports.

Sonia O'Sullivan recorded her fastest 3,000m time since Zurich 2000 at the Mardyke yesterday (8:38.99) when wining the BUPA 3,000 metres race in superb style.
