THE method by which Guernsey selects its Commonwealth Games team can be improved, accepts Peter Sirett, chairman of the Guernsey Commonwealth Games Association.

IT WOULD have been wonderful to mark the 40th anniversary of our first venture into the Commonwealth Games with a medal in Delhi, and a gold one at that.

GUERNSEY might be among the teams propping up the medals table, but the Sarnians have done themselves proud both in and out of the sporting arena in India.

GUERNSEY’S cyclists did themselves proud again as they battled the  heat and a home-straight head wind to all finish in the top 30 of the  individual time trials.

A MEDAL in Delhi may yet be within Guernsey’s reach.

CYCLING team manager Rob Smart lauded his team as they all produced outstanding performances in 40-degree heat on Sunday.

PATCHED up after months of injury worries, Guernsey’s first track and field relay squad left the Jawaharial Nehru Stadium last night all smiles.

JAMES McLAUGHLIN underlined his emergence as a cyclist of huge potential with a superb 20th place finish in yesterday’s gruelling 168 kilometre road race.

KYLIE ROBILLIARD produced an outstanding display on and off the track but cruelly missed out on a place in the women’s 100m hurdles final by just one place and 0.12 of a second in the Nehru Stadium yesterday.

ALICE LOVERIDGE was yesterday within a whisker of reaching the second round of the women’s singles and a place in the last 32 in Delhi.
