Impressive Eilidh’s on her A game to make final

- Matthew Gallagher

Kinross track star Eilidh Doyle will compete in the 400m hurdles final at the European Championsh­ips in Berlin.

Doyle won her semi-final in a time 55.16 on Wednesday in what was only her third race since the Gold Coast Commonweal­th Games.

She will now race in tonight’s final and said:“I’m feeling a bit better now on my running than I have.

“It’s only my third race since the Commonweal­ths, so I was pretty nervous and usually I like the heats to get that nervousnes­s out of my system.

“But I didn’t get that opportunit­y as I was up against the top girls in Europe, so had to be on my A game.”
