O’Rourke primed for ‘big performance’ in Budapest

DERVAL O’ROURKE runs in the Grand Prix meeting in Budapest tonight — lining up against a strong field for the 100m hurdles in better conditions than she experienced at The Mardyke last weekend.

A poor start in Cork left her devastated but she can put all that behind her and, after Budapest, she will travel to Lausanne for Tuesday Grand Prix meeting.

“She had a sensational session with the other members of the group yesterday and ran 120 metres faster than she has ever done before,” her coach, Jim Kilty, revealed last evening.
