Commonwealth bronze for Cleckheaton's golden girl

Cleckheaton diving prodigy Lois Toulson secured a bronze medal for England in the Commonwealth Games today.

Competing in the women's 10m diving final, the 18-year-old's repertoire included an impressive score of 81.60 for her inward 3-1/2, which was not quite enough to topple Aussie home favourite Melissa Wu, who topped the podium with a score of 360.40.
