Home favourite Grace Reid has expressed her delight at the way she dived on her first appearance at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Although just 18, Reid is appearing at her second Commonwealths after competing in Delhi four years ago, where she registered an impressive sixth-place finish in the 3m springboard final.

Reid qualified for this evening's 1m final with the seventh-best score and might have been higher if her final dive didn't have such a low degree of difficulty.

"I'm really pleased, that's a [personal best]. A little couple points or something, but yeah I'm really pleased," she told reporters at the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh.

"Everything was pretty steady, pretty consistent so that's all I can really ask for this morning.

"I was nervous going into it but I think once I got on the board I was like yeah okay, the crowd are behind me. That's such a nice feeling."

The final gets underway at 6.05pm this evening, with the 3m springboard and preliminaries on the final day of diving tomorrow.
