There were more medals in the pool last night, with records being broken all over the show. It was Silver for Guernsey's Ian Powell in the Men's 400m Individual Medley who led the way for a number of laps only to be overtaken by a very strong Ceasarian, Daniel Hawksworth.

Next up and a Guernsey Gold and Bronze in the Women's 200m breaststroke. A Channel Island 1,2,3 seems to be a pretty common sight on the podium. This time is was Gail Strobridge taking gold with Christine Hume putting in a great performance for bronze.

Another Channel Island 1,2,3 this time with Guernsey's Tom Hollingsworth and Ben Lowndes taking Silver and Bronze respectively in the 100m butterfly. Then in the next event silver turned to gold for Matthew Robert in the 50m breaststroke after Jersey's Damien Bouchere was disqualified on a technicality.

Table Tennis

Guernsey have won Gold in the Table Tennis Team Event. The match against Gotland went to the full seven sets. and Guernsey finally came out on top.

Volleyball

Bermuda were too powerful for the Guernsey men winning three sets to one.

Guernsey took on rivals Jersey and coach John Marley said they have to beat them.

Well Jon Marley's men did as instructed and beat Jersey. He'd said he'd have to have serious words with the team if they didn't beat the other island, so at least that will be avoided. Guernsey saw them off by three sets to one.
