Mouthwatering clashes set for Cork

Top 400m star Katharine Merry is set for a mouthwatering return to action with a clash with Ireland's Karen Shinkins in the Bupa Ireland Cork City Sports next weekend.

The women's 400m race is attracting headlines while the men's is also eagerly awaited because of the Jamie Baulch/Paul McKee factor - the pair shared bronze in the European Indoor Championships.
