Robilliard finds her form in Poland

A FORTNIGHT before the NatWest Island Games Kylie Robilliard has bounced back into form on the track.

Published

Robilliard, 27 a week ago, posted a fast 13.84sec. for seventh place in the 100 hurdles at the European Athletics Festival meeting in Bydgoszcz in Poland.

It was comfortably better than her only other completed hurdles event this season and is approaching the form she showed last summer as she prepared for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The Poland performance came just four days after she failed to finish a hurdles race in a four-way match at Loughborough.

Robilliard, who won the 100m flat gold medal in the Isle of Wight four years ago and the hurdles title in Aland in 2009, is planning to double up in Jersey, tackling the 100m and the hurdles.

She did not compete in Bermuda two years ago.

Meanwhile, with 35 entrants it appears that Guernsey will be the biggest visiting track and field team, eight down on hosts Jersey's 43.

Of the other bigger entrants, Isle of Man are sending 27, Shetland 24, Western Isles 22, Gibraltar and Isle of Wight both 17 and the Cayman Islands 16.
