Irish women set two new relay records

Both of the Ireland women's relay teams just missed out on qualification for their respective finals at the European Championships in Barcelona this morning, but they had the consolation of setting new national records.

The Irish 4x100 metres quartet of Amy Foster, who ran the first leg, Niamh Whelan, Claire Brady and anchor Ailis McSweeney put in a storming run to set a new national record of 43.93 seconds in fourth place.
