The 3 medal winners in the women's 400m Final at the line. Left to right - Sarah Dowling, Harriet Pryke and Gemma Dawkins (Jersey). It was a desperately close battle for bronze between Sarah and Orkney's Mags MacRae (out of shot in Lane 2).
The moment we knew that Sarah had got the bronze to add to Harriet's silver!
Rachael Franklin gives it everything in the final 50 metres of the 1500m final. A great shot showing the poise and power she showed through the entire race. She couldn't quite catch the winner - but what an incredible performance. A pb by nearly 10 seconds and a silver medal in her second Island Games!!
A tremendous performance too by Gemma Astin in the 1500m final, showing class, courage and determination in abundance.
Rachael about to be congratulated by her coach Di Shimell - what a wonderful birthday Di had yesterday!(All photos by Anthony & Caroline Brand)
