European performances were ‘the stuff of dreams’

IRISH manager Patsy McGonagle yesterday described Irish performances at the European Championships in Gothenburg in glowing terms.

Derval O’Rourke’s silver medal in the 100m hurdles was the obvious high point of the week but McGonagle also highlighted the efforts of Joanne Cuddihy, Martin Fagan, Liam Reale and Mary Cullen.

“It’s the stuff dreams are made of,” McGonagle admitted.
