Bad news for Lisa Hayward and Darren Le Tissier though who have lost their Badminton Mixed Doubles Quarter Final to the Jersey pairing of Kerry Coombs-Goodfellow and Anton Kriel.

Bowls

Guernsey's Paul Ingrouille has topped his group in the Men's Indoor Bowls after winning three out of three matches. He now progresses to the Play Offs to fight for a medal.

Guernsey's mountain bikers were looking for medals in the cross country last night and they found two. An individual silver for Jimmy Carling and the team also took silver. So a fantastic result from a very wet course in Brae.

Football

In the Men's Football Guernsey have beaten Ynys Môn 3 nil. John Veron scored the first two and Sam Cochrane headed the third into the back of the net. The Team had already secured their place in the final but were obviously not resting on their laurels.

In the match to decide who Guernsey faces in the final, it was Shetland 1 - Isle of Man 0 so there will be a huge crowd estimated to be around four thousand.

Guernsey's Women have beaten the Isle of Man 2-1, their first victory of the Games. The ladies were feeling better for their rest day. The team has grown in stature during the Games following two heavy losses having drawn and won in their last two games.

Golf

After three rounds with one round to go Bobby Eggo has dropped from first to fourth so will have to work hard, but he did set a course record on Tuesday so gold is still within his grasp. Meanwhile Danny Bisson is still sitting in third place. Whilst in the ladies event, they'll be aiming for a good round, although it's highly unlikely Alderney or Guernsey will achieve medals there.

Guernsey were denied a clean sweep by the hosts Shetland.

Alison Merrien took gold in the Ladies' Singles and Paul Ingrouille did the same in the Men's Singles.

Craig Dorey and Steve Desperques took gold in the Men's Pairs.

The Men and also took a Team Gold all adding to the tally and their obvious delight. The Women's Team event finishing on Friday.

Sailboarding

In a time of 4 minutes 1.42 seconds Jonathon Le Noury took Gold for Guernsey in the Mens 400m Freestyle.

Guernsey's girls just missed out on the Gold in the 4 x 100m medley relay, taking silver instead.

All this and a exciting end to the swimming in the 2005 Island Games as Guernsey snatched the mixed 8 by 50m freestyle relay from Jersey in dramatic fashion in a Games Record time of 3 minutes 28.96 seconds.

Phil Ogier faces Ola Granlund from Gotland in the Semis of the Table Tennis Men's Singles after beating Alex Rorke of the Isle of Wight 4-2 in the Quarter Finals.
