Congratulations to our Sporting Champions

Commonwealth Games dual-medallist Amy Cure and boxing champion Daniel Geale are ensuring Tasmania is never left off the map.

Amy secured a second podium finish at Glasgow Commonwealth Games over the weekend, winning silver in the 10 kilometre Scratch Race.

This follows her bronze medal performance in the 3,000 metre pursuit on Saturday. This morning she narrowly missed out on a third medal in the 25 km Points Race.

Boxer Nick Cooney also wrapped up his debut Commonwealth Games, having been knocked out in round two in his second contest.

I wish the best of luck for three Tasmanians in action today, including hockey player Eddie Ockenden, boxer Jackson Woods and track and field athlete Huw Peacock.

Meanwhile, Tasmania's Daniel Geale has again proven to be an inspiration to Tasmanians despite suffering defeat in his bid for the IBO and WBF titles.

Geale was gracious in defeat and a true sportsman. He showed tremendous hard work and determination, and did Tasmania proud.
