Brits are making a splash in Rome

BRITISH divers Andrea Spendolini-sirieix and Lois Toulson won their second gold medals of the European Aquatics Championships yesterday.

Competing together for the first time in Rome, the pair (above) won their final dive to secure the title with a score of 72.96 in the women’s synchronised 10m platform.

For 17-year-old Spendolini-sirieix, it marks a third medal of the Championships after she won the individual 10m title earlier in the week as well as mixed team bronze.

Toulson, 22, took European gold in the mixed synchronised 10m platform event with team-mate Kyle Kothari.

CRICKET

ENGLAND all-rounder Nat Sciver inspired Trent Rockets to a comfortable 18-run victory against London Spirit at Trent Bridge.

She took two wickets in two balls and scored 42 in a partnership of 97 with opener Bryony Smith in the Rockets’ total of 142-4.

The Spirit then got off to a good start but Sciver dismissed Beth Mooney and Alice Monaghan in consecutive balls as the Rockets outgunned the London outfit.
