Britons earn 110m hurdles medals
Chris Baillie
Baillie was thrilled to collect the silver medal
Scotland's Chris Baillie and England's Andy Turner both picked up medals in the men's 110m hurdles.

Maurice Wignall of Jamaica finished well clear of the field to take gold in a time of 13.26.

But Baillie took silver in a time of 13.61 with Turner's well-timed late run seeing him finish just one-hundredth of a second behind.

"That was amazing - more than I could have hoped for coming into these Games," said Baillie.

It was Scotland's first track gold of these Commonwealth Games.

It was also an emotional occasion for Baillie, whose older brother Ross was a hugely promising hurdler when he died aged 21 from an allergic reaction to peanuts which were in a chicken sandwich eaten during a training break in 1999.

I had a bad race and came out with bronze
Andy Turner
Turner was pleased with bronze but felt he could have done better.

"I must have been nearly last about halfway down so I had to change gear and luckily I managed to pull the places back and bring home the bronze," he said.

"I had a bad race and came out with bronze. If I had had a good race I don't know about gold, but I think I would have taken silver."

England's Martyn Rooney qualified fourth-fastest for the 400m final in a personal best time of 45.35 seconds.

The Croydon-born runner was third in his heat behind Saul Welgopwa of Nigeria and Avard Moncur of the Bahamas and qualified as a fastest loser.

"I know I'm in good shape - training's gone really well," said the 18-year-old.

But team-mate Robert Tobin missed out on a place in the final, finishing third in 45.74 secs in his semi-final.
