Northern Ireland duo Kevin Seaward and Stephen Scullion finished ninth and 10th respectively in a gruelling men’s marathon at the Commonwealth Games.
Seaward crossed the line in two hours, 16 minutes, 54 seconds, nearly six minutes behind Ugandan race winner Victor Kiplangat.
Belfast’s Scullion rounded off the top 10 as he came home in 2:17:51.
Elsewhere on day two, Danielle Hill advanced to the women’s 50m freestyle and 100m backstroke semi-finals.
The Larne Olympian was just 0.1 second shy of her Irish record in the freestyle as she clocked 25.29 to register the sixth fastest time, before a 1:01.85 in the backstroke in which she was eighth fastest qualifier.
Both semis will take place on Saturday evening, however Hill’s team-mate Jack McMillan will not feature in the hotly contested men’s 200m freestyle final having finished ninth in qualifying with a time of 1:48.51.
