Will Jennings In Glasgow

Melanie Woods must rerun the Commonwealth Games T54 1500m final in Glasgow after the Jury of Appeal upheld Canadian competitor Nandini Sharma’s disqualification but ordered a new race following multiple appeals. Woods had already won in Commonwealth-record time after a crash-hit final, while England’s Ellis Kottas and Australia’s Mikaela Dingley had completed medal celebrations. Team England strongly criticised the late decision and the short turnaround, while Woods must also contest her 400m heats the same morning.

Aberdeen boxer Sonny Kerr defeated Samoa’s Marion Ah Tong by unanimous decision in the 70kg quarter-finals at Glasgow’s SEC, guaranteeing himself at least a bronze medal. He will face Northern Ireland’s Jon McConnell in the semi-finals for a place in the gold-medal bout. Scottish boxer Nicholas Devlin lost his 60kg quarter-final to Wales’ Owain Harris-Allan, while Lara Brown was beaten by defending champion Michaela Walsh in the women’s 57kg quarter-finals.
