There’s a Commonwealth Games connection in Ella Doherty’s family going back four decades and, forty years on, the 22-year-old is preparing to add significantly to the family’s Commonwealth Games story.

Back in 1986, Doherty’s mum carried the Queen’s Baton ahead of the Games taking place in Edinburgh and now Doherty is preparing to go one better and actually compete in the Commonwealth Games themselves.
