Para-swimmer Barry McClements claimed a Commonwealth Games silver medal in the men's S9 100m backstroke at Tollcross Swimming Centre.
It's Northern Ireland's second medal of the Games in Glasgow after Bethany Firth took bronze on Saturday in the women's S14 100m freestyle.
McClements, who won the bronze four years ago in the same event in Birmingham, pushed Australia's Timothy Hodge all the way to the touch, finishing in a time of 1:03.68, just 0.68 behind the Australian.
