Double gold for Scottish youngsters



Scottish athletes Kyle Henderson and Lenzie's Andrea Gaffney were the stars of the show at the SIAB Schools International in Antrim on Saturday.

16-year-old Henderson claimed victory in the boys long jump with 6.79m and made it a double gold with a 1.94m leap in the high jump.

Not to be outdone Gaffney, 15, took back to back gold medals in the girls long jump (5.66m) and the triple jump (11.45m) at the meeting in Northern Ireland which saw the cream of the home nations' talent go head to head.

Scotland's other victories came from Dalkeith's Greg Louden in the boys' 400m (48.59) and Jordanhill's Jax Thoirs in the pole vault (4.40m).

England won the overall team competition ahead of Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
