NOTTINGHAM cyclist Lydia Boylan finished 14th in the Women's 10km Scratch Race at the Commonwealth Games.
Representing Northern Ireland, the 27-year-old faced some stiff competition at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, with newly-crowned 3,000m individual pursuit champion Joanna Rowsell and England team-mates Laura Trott and Dani King in the line-up.
But it was Australian Annette Edmondson who took the gold medal ahead of compatriot Amy Cure, with Wales' Elinor Barker edging out King for the bronze position.
Boylan now has a quick turnaround, being back on the track for a second time when she competes in the 25km Points Race tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Beeston Hockey's Jamie Cachia and Gordon McIntyre were part of a Scotland team to suffer a second successive defeat as India triumphed 6-2 in their group game.
