But since then, opinions have changed, and this will no longer

:03:32.:03:34.

He sat back, taking up a tactical position at the rear of the chasing

group, trying to save energx. It paid off, as he broke away on the

:04:03.:04:07.

I knew I could run with these guys, and they called me up quite early on

the bikes, so I sat in and save myself for a bit, and then just try

:04:13.:04:15.

to do some thing at the end to give myself as much as a chance `s I

could. It wasn't really enotgh. They flew past me on that run. Btt I had

pleased with that. Duncan t`ke pride in his final standing in a race that

:04:39.:04:40.

through to the last 16 of the men's singles after beating Colin Ramara

:04:41.:04:43.

Earlier, he got through his first round match against 16`year`old

:04:44.:04:47.

He is a young player, very clean, quite strong and fit, and I had to

try and working round the court get used to be caught myself, and try

and get him off as quickly `s possible, and it all went to plan.

Meanwhile, Jersey squash players Sarah Taylor

and Nick Taylor both made it through their first round singles m`tches

The husband and wife pairing are also competing

And Sarah says Team Jersey supporting her court`side is

:05:58.:06:01.

a real sense of excitement here at the Tollcross swimming centre. This

:06:02.:06:05.

is a huge event in the Commonwealth Games, and a huge platform for our

:06:06.:06:10.

Channel Islands swimmers. J`y`Z s Tom Galer Shaul was the first island

:06:11.:06:15.

in the pool. His first heat went fantastically well, finishing first,

:06:16.:06:18.

and beating his best for thd butterfly heats. In his second heat,

it was a tougher competition, against some of the best nales. But

:06:29.:06:33.

Guernsey's Miles Monroe did secure joint 15th place. Jeans you give its

Guernsey. He was up

:07:25.:07:29.

against a very strong field, as Miles only qualified equal fifteenth

will change over the next fdw days will be a drop in the temperatures.
