Loughnane and O’Rourke the star draws at Cork City Sports

DERVAL O’ROURKE is set to share star billing with world silver medallist, Olive Loughnane, at Cork City Sports at the CIT Track in Bishopstown on July 3.

It will be O’Rourke’s first appearance over the hurdles in Cork since her stunning performances at the world championships in Berlin last year, when she finished fourth in a sensational final.

This is a big year for O’Rourke, with the European championships in Barcelona approaching next month. She will be hoping to build on the silver medal she won in Gothenburg four years ago.
