Headline Names For Cork For Derval O'Rourke and David Gillick Saturday's Cork City Sports is going to be a very special occasion. For both this will be their first competitive outing in Ireland since their medal winning exploits. Derval competes in front of her home town supporters for the first time since winning silver in the 100m hurdles at the European championships last August, while this is David's first race on Irish soil since his 400m gold at the European indoor championships in March. Both can be assured af a huge welcome from spectators in the intimate surroundings of the Mardyke track. And both thoroughly deserve the biggest possible welcome for their efforts in bringing Irish spinting to the world stage. And, make no mistake about it, that same welcome will also be extended to all the other competitors at what promises to be the best track and field meet in Ireland for many years DERVAL O'ROURKE: Current World Indoor 60H Champion.
