MONA MCSHARRY WILL aim to book her place in another European Championship final when she returns to the pool later this afternoon.
McSharry — who was disappointed to only finish fifth in the 100m breaststroke final on Saturday — faced a quick turnaround for the heats of the 200m breaststroke.
But she made no mistake in finishing second in a time of 2:26.95.
Her qualifying time was the seventh-fastest overall ahead of the semi-finals, which take place this afternoon at 5.37pm.
Shane Ryan will also be in semi-final action later on Sunday in the men’s 50m backstroke.
Ryan, 28, won his heat in 25.33 seconds and posted the 12th-fastest time overall.
His semi-final is at 5.30pm.
Finn McGeever, Robbie Powell, Ellie McCartney, Niamh Coyne and Grace Hodgins were also in action on Sunday morning but failed to progress from their respective heats.
