Cyclist Rhys Hidrio won gold in the mountain bike cross country, with Jersey also getting the team gold in that event.

Emily Bridson took bronze in the women's race.

In the pool there were further golds for Issac Dodds in the 400m freestyle.  That makes seven gold for the Jersey swimmer.

It was a Jersey silver too for Matthew Deffains in that race.

There were also top-of-the-podium finishes for Robbie Jones in the 100m backstroke title and Gemma Atherley in the 100m freestyle.

Among the highlights on the last day of the Games will be half marathon, the cycling road criteriums and the mixed relay triathlon, with plenty of spectators expected along the St Peter Port seafront.

One of Jersey's gold medal hopes will be in the football final where Jersey play Ynys Mon at 3.30pm
