Williams set to entertain the crowds at the Mardyke

BERNARD WILLIAMS may be the Olympic silver medallist at 200m but the track’s greatest entertainer is only on standby for that event at the BUPA Cork City Sports International Track and Field Meeting this afternoon and that demonstrates the amount of talent that will be on show at The Mardyke (2pm).

Fans will have an opportunity to see the Olympic silver medallist he also has gold from the 4 x 100m relay in 2000 in action as he headlines the men's 100m.

He is a star act both on and off the track and doubles up as a stand-up comedian under the name "Hollywood Williams." For a brief moment at yesterday's reception hosted by UCC at The Mardyke it appeared as if he would take over the show but the microphone would not work for him.
