Irish senior squad members were competing at the Park World Tour sprint races in Perth this weekend.
They had fine runs in the Elite finals on Saturday with Niamh O'Boyle finishing in the top ten with 8th place, 2 and a half minutes behind WOC sprint runner-up Sweden's Helen Jansson. Niamh's World champs team-mate Rosalind Hussey qualified for Saturdays Elite final and finished a respectable 18th place in a high quality field.
Corko junior Niamh Corbett narrowly missed out on joining Niamh and Rosalind in the big final, she finished a mere 11 seconds off qualification.
Nicolas Simonin was the only Irish representative in the Men's final. He had a strong run finishing 14th in a time of 15:39
In a race that was won by sprint specialist Norway's Oystein Kvaal Osterbo Nick was less than a minute off a podium spot!
Special mention must also go to the Irish Juniors who were placed 3rd (finally getting the better of the Welsh)In the Junior Home International which was run alongside the PWT events in Perth. Well done!
