Rejuvenated Davoren relishes European Cup test

IRISH athletic talent will be distributed between Denmark and Finland this weekend, with the men and women’s teams involved in the European Cup matches.

And nobody is looking forward to the trip more than Cork-based middle distance runner, Freda Davoren.

The Kerry-born UCC graduate, who is back in action after missing a full season with a troublesome hamstring, posted a very impressive time of 2:03.25 for 800m in Riga last week, more than a second faster than she had ever run.
