Team Northern Ireland’s judoka Joshua Green claimed a Commonwealth Games bronze medal in the 73kg lightweight category as he beat Wales' Ben Moore by golden score.
Green had started his campaign with a golden score win over Mattheo Lawson by Yuko and in the quarter-finals he also defeated Scotland’s Oliver Short by Yuko.
It set up a semi-final against England’s Benjamin Levy, who proved too strong as he beat Green by Waza-Ari.
The 26-year-old bounced back well to edge a tense bout against Welshman Moore to win his first medal at the Games after finishing fifth and missing out on bronze in Birmingham in 2022.
"It's brilliant, it is a bit of a sore one anytime someone brings up last time [in Birmingham], but to get it done today and get on the podium is really good, I'm buzzing," he told BBC Sport NI.
"There's a lot of hard work day in day out and my dad is here as a coach so he is over the moon."
Green is the 14th athlete from Team NI to win a medal in Glasgow, eight of which have been bronze.
Fellow Team NI judoka Rachael Hawkes will take on Canadian Charlie Thibault in her bronze medal bout at 17:18 BST.
Hawkes lost her opening bout to Moira de Villiers from New Zealand. It went to extra time with de Villiers eventually winning a titanic struggle with an Ippon.
It sent Hawkes to the repechage where she defeated Holly Devall from Wales by Yuko.
