HEREFORD'S Irie Hill completed a hat-trick of gold medals at the World Masters Games in Melbourne, Australia.

The Commonwealth Games bronze medallist added her specialist event, the pole vault, and the long jump to the triple jump gold she had won earlier.

She cleared 4m in the pole vault but just failed in her attempt at what would have been a personal best of 4.25m, which is the qualifying height for funding from UK Athletics. In the long jump Hill recorded 5.36m with her first leap which proved good enough to win despite a strong challenge.

Not to be outdone, her husband Warren cleared 3m to take silver in the men's pole vault, following a bronze in the triple jump.
