English and Mageean delighted after achieving medal double for Ireland

One of those glorious nights to remember in Irish athletics as Mark English and Ciara Mageean scored European Indoor bronze medals within 90 minutes of each other in Glasgow.

First out on track was Mark English in the 800m final, something that he feared last night would not happen at all after being stymied by Guy Learmonth’s inside manoeuvre in the semi-final that left the Donegal man back in fifth, and seemingly nowhere.
