The 21-year-old Newham & Essex Beagles athlete set a new personal best time of 7.24 seconds to finish 0.09 seconds clear of her GB rival.

Williams, who has been widely tipped for world stardom, was comfortably beaten in their second round race, marking Philip’s return to full fitness after a lengthy injury lay-off.

Club-mate Tope Nuga also competed, finishing in 7.61, just 0.01 seconds outside her pb, set in round one.

Francesca crossed the line in 59.69, while Martina finished slightly slower in 62.20.

Matthew Roberts won the men’s high jump with a 2.15m clearance and Beagles club-mate Simon Phelan was joint-third with a 2m jump.
