O’Rourke and McSweeney primed for Paris

DERVAL O’ROURKE and Leevale clubmate Ailis McSweeney were two very determined ladies walking out of Santry Stadium on Tuesday night, according to coach Sean Cahill.

The pair had just finished their final training session before the European indoor championships, which get under way in Paris tomorrow morning, and for O’Rourke it was also the completion of her recuperation.

She admitted that her preparations have not gone as smoothly as she would have liked but she aims to put all that behind her.
