Goodall succumbs to back trouble

Wednesday 27th May 2009, 2:29PM BST.

KIMBERLEY GOODALL has joined Dale Garland in ruling herself out of next month’s NatWest Island Games.

The star of the 2003 Games in Guernsey and winner of six individual and four relay golds, has lost her battle to beat a back injury and has withdrawn from the team.

‘It’s very frustrating. I can jog, but that’s about it,’ said the runner (pictured) who has sought various treatments but, as yet, not solved the problem.

‘I can’t run quick. It’s a shame because the girls team is very depleted.’

Garland pulled out last week for personal reasons.

Very sad for Kim. Well I remember her and Dale drive nail after nail into the Jersey coffin in 2003. And when not winning medals she was there helping at events – putting out hurdles, being a flower girl etc. Get well soon Kim.
