South Africa has done enough. It has been a comfortable display. Not

:00:00.:00:00.

entirely conventional boxing, but it has been a fact. This tall, rangy

:00:00.:00:11.

boxer from South Africa. Surely Mbenge will go through to the next

:00:12.:00:17.

round. Dominant display by the South African. Did what he wanted. He

:00:18.:00:24.

switched from orthodox to southpaw, showing his confidence. We saw right

:00:25.:00:27.

hand is going in from Mbenge and then he switches to the body shot.

:00:28.:00:32.

Good stuff from Mbenge and totally in control. Long-range work was his

:00:33.:00:41.

strength. He will have two tight in his guard up as he goes further in

:00:42.:00:45.

the competition but nevertheless a dominant display and he will be

:00:46.:00:48.

happy to get the first one under his belt. I rather weary walk to the

:00:49.:01:02.

centre of the ring from Tyrell. He perhaps knows the fate that awaits

:01:03.:01:09.

him. Ladies and gentlemen we have jaw -- scores. Winner by unanimous

:01:10.:01:20.

decision, Mbenge! Mbenge from South Africa takes the unanimous points

:01:21.:01:25.

decision over the boxer from Samoa, Henry Tyrell. His confidence is only

:01:26.:01:30.

going to grow as he goes deeper into the tournament.

:01:31.:01:42.

Mbenge dominant in that out and deserved the victory. This is the

:01:43.:01:51.

end of me on BBC Three. Official hand over to you and so far you

:01:52.:01:56.

would have been out and about at the judo and you saw some great British

:01:57.:02:03.

fighters? In some respects, everybody was keeping on the medal

:02:04.:02:07.

hunt as to where Scotland's first gold medal would go. A lot of money

:02:08.:02:13.

would have gone on the swimming pool, but judo was the place to be.

:02:14.:02:21.

Outstanding for the home nations, 11 medals in all. Gold medals won by

:02:22.:02:30.

Kimberly and Louis Rennick. Fantastic story. You could not help

:02:31.:02:40.

but feel proud for them because they must have had a big party last

:02:41.:02:48.

night. 3-goal medals for an English fighter? Yes, Scott Oakes. He said I

:02:49.:03:00.

am happy but he said your microphone close to my face. I said, this is

:03:01.:03:03.

how we hold it, but enjoy your success. It was fantastic. But

:03:04.:03:11.

talking of judo, John Buchanan who came out of retirement and picked up

:03:12.:03:17.

the bronze medal in his home games. 38 years old and he will be joining

:03:18.:03:22.

as a live on BBC Three. Of course, you have already had a few exciting

:03:23.:03:26.

heats on the second day of Glasgow 2014. We reckon it will only whet

:03:27.:03:31.

your appetite because there is so much to come between now and seven

:03:32.:03:42.

p.m.. First of all let's go to Glasgow Green in the middle of

:03:43.:03:46.

Glasgow city centre, the oldest public park in the city. It is

:03:47.:03:58.

hosting the brand-new national this is the highest ranked side against

:03:59.:04:00.

the lowest ranked side. Australia are taking on Wales. An early touch

:04:01.:04:25.

and get rid of the nerves the Wales. Making some progress down the left

:04:26.:04:29.

flank. She is surrounded by three Australian players. Not many outlets

:04:30.:04:34.

are heard to get the ball. She does well and get the applause. Richards

:04:35.:04:40.

was off but told back. Wilkinson. Flannigan batting the ball around

:04:41.:05:22.

the pitch. Finds Kelli, White goal-scorer yesterday against

:05:23.:05:31.

Malaysia. Gets the first penalty corner of the match, Kelli White.

:05:32.:05:37.

The might and power of the penalty corner. Couple of choices. Brilliant

:05:38.:05:50.

baseline play. She waited for the Welsh defender to see if she was

:05:51.:05:57.

going to put her stick down. The teams have 40 seconds for the

:05:58.:06:04.

defence to put all their gear on. Wales looked ready and Australia

:06:05.:06:10.

refining what they are going to do. We have Flannigan number nine. Just

:06:11.:06:22.

why this time. It was the only corner Australia used in their first

:06:23.:06:26.

match. Directly off the top. The disguise Kenny gets on that. She

:06:27.:06:32.

should be finding the backboard with that. Flanagan. Finds East Ham.

:06:33.:06:47.

Catches the stick of the Welsh defender. White again, just showing

:06:48.:07:02.

the crowd her expertise and close ball control. Underhit.

:07:03.:07:15.

Double tackle on Kenny. Richards putting pressure on and it is

:07:16.:07:32.

punched by Sarah Jones. Looking for the straight ball and she finds it.

:07:33.:07:37.

Flanagan is too good and she cuts it off. Richards can't keep it low.

:07:38.:07:49.

Promising signs from Wales. Reading some of the Australian plate and

:07:50.:07:54.

three intercepts. Just over five minutes gone. -- play.

:07:55.:08:17.

Drive through from Flannigan and throws her hands up in the air when

:08:18.:08:46.

she realised it was going to be cut off. That was too ambitious.

:08:47.:09:12.

Blyth has 288 matches for her country, the Australian skipper.

:09:13.:09:38.

Barnes and the Australian players hovering, knowing the Welsh players

:09:39.:09:58.

will sense their presence. Emily Smith. Now

:09:59.:10:06.

will sense their presence. Emily she cannot control it. It is a

:10:07.:10:12.

relentless she cannot control it. It is a

:10:13.:10:20.

midfielders. Jones has got it. Hydride. -- high drive. What can the

:10:21.:10:44.

Australians conjure up? Nothing right now. Barnes is dumped off the

:10:45.:11:00.

ball. One of the things when you are playing Australia, you cannot afford

:11:01.:11:04.

to relax rush to mark no, and when you win possession you have two

:11:05.:11:11.

value it and keep it. They like to put lots of numbers around the ball.

:11:12.:11:17.

If you can win a quick free kick, you can take two or three Australian

:11:18.:11:23.

players out of the game. It is a good start by Australia, which is

:11:24.:11:29.

what we expected. Flanagan has come over to the right side now. Kenny.

:11:30.:11:34.

Strong drive over to the right side now. Kenny.

:11:35.:11:40.

Strong down the left flank. Brooke Perris had a shot at goal. On the

:11:41.:11:51.

run, on-the-fly. I think she is busy in the couple of games she has

:11:52.:11:55.

played, but someone so young. She will be disappointed she

:11:56.:11:57.

played, but someone so young. She the ball on target. But she looks

:11:58.:12:03.

lively and looks like she will be created player. -- creative player.

:12:04.:12:15.

Kelli White gets another penalty for her country, Australia. They went

:12:16.:12:25.

for the referral. The question... Let's have a look

:12:26.:12:49.

here. The regional decision has been given for a foot. This will be the

:12:50.:13:13.

angle, I imagine. The question is, as the ball has come up, has it come

:13:14.:13:24.

off the lake? -- leg? The umpire, from South Africa. Still waiting. I

:13:25.:13:41.

have a decision for you. The ball has come off a Welsh stick onto her

:13:42.:13:50.

body, a penalty corner, Wales will lose their referral. As you heard,

:13:51.:14:00.

Wales have no ability to refer. The umpire relaying information to the

:14:01.:14:06.

Welsh defence. They will get some time to get the gear on. All of

:14:07.:14:13.

those yellow dresses lining up behind the D. Jodie Kenny. There is

:14:14.:14:35.

a break at the top of the circle. This time it is Wales who lose.

:14:36.:14:48.

Number seven, Sian French. Trying to get the momentum without breaking

:14:49.:15:09.

the line. Edwina Phone coming in. -- Road. This time they will get it.

:15:10.:15:25.

The question asked by the Australian captain, can Wales get their full

:15:26.:15:28.

complement of defensive players back. From South Africa, umpire

:15:29.:15:43.

Rostron says, no. Wales will play with three players and a goalkeeper

:15:44.:15:52.

in defence. It is goal number one. Amid the controversy, a little bit

:15:53.:15:56.

of disarray, it is Australia taking 12 minutes for them to do it. It is

:15:57.:16:06.

Kenny who gets the ball. A great little dragon, flick. Wilkinson will

:16:07.:16:13.

be disappointed, it looks like it has come off her stick. She has

:16:14.:16:19.

tried to play at it, like a cricket shot. Australia take the lead, 1-0,

:16:20.:16:36.

12 minutes gone and the first 35 in its spell. What he make of that?

:16:37.:16:42.

Allowing attacking players to replace defensive ones? Interesting,

:16:43.:16:47.

I would like to know the reason you are allowed to do that as an

:16:48.:16:52.

attacking team, something I have not seen very often, it does not seem

:16:53.:17:02.

fair and right. The fact that she was able to be replaced, rules are

:17:03.:17:09.

rules, and she knew them well. The Welsh coach looking a bit bemused up

:17:10.:17:19.

in the stands. Taylor, looking for Jones. Takes it on the body.

:17:20.:17:28.

Flanagan, on the right, on the move. A loose ball. Corner, danger. It is

:17:29.:17:36.

the reason that the penalty corner has been given. The Australians seem

:17:37.:17:44.

to be able to nip in front of the Welsh defenders. You think you are

:17:45.:17:51.

set and ready, then an Australian appears off your shoulder, getting a

:17:52.:17:56.

little touch. Very difficult for the goalkeeper to keep the bouncing ball

:17:57.:18:02.

on the floor. A lot of discipline needed by the Welsh defence, not to

:18:03.:18:06.

break the back line before the ball comes into the field of play.

:18:07.:18:10.

Flanagan gets the go, up into the air again. A shot on goal, goal

:18:11.:18:21.

number two. Georgina Parker adding to her tally for 2014. Her third of

:18:22.:18:29.

the competition, her first today. A good advantage by the umpire, she

:18:30.:18:32.

could have blown for the initial shot. A great save off one of the

:18:33.:18:42.

best drag flickers in the world. A simple tap in for Parker. 2-0. 20

:18:43.:18:57.

minutes to play in the first spell. A rather fragmented last ten

:18:58.:19:03.

minutes. The game dominated by the execution of the penalty corner.

:19:04.:19:27.

Players breaking, referrals... Xenna Hughes coming into the game for

:19:28.:19:34.

Wales, the daughter of Mark Hughes. Very quickly the Australians... I

:19:35.:19:41.

cannot imagine the coach will be impressed by Flanagan trying to

:19:42.:19:45.

clear the ball between her legs. You can tell they were not expecting her

:19:46.:19:50.

to do that. Those things can cost you in crucial matches, bad habits

:19:51.:20:03.

can creep in. A good opportunity all Barnes hovering at the top. A bit

:20:04.:20:10.

too high. Has to be no higher than 18 inches. , lower, preferably.

:20:11.:20:16.

Barnes. Hughes. She will not be happy to give that

:20:17.:20:33.

one away. Allowing White to overrun the ball. A corner they use a lot,

:20:34.:20:41.

Wilkinson will be disappointed, she slaps it along the floor for Emma

:20:42.:21:03.

Batton to flick it. The Welsh get the free hit. Wilkinson. Jones

:21:04.:21:21.

looking to Jordan, opts to go back instead. The captain has a bit of

:21:22.:21:30.

room to move, chased by the Australian captain. She will get the

:21:31.:21:51.

free hit. Eight bit there, she may have hit herself in the process.

:21:52.:22:21.

Wales cannot find any inroads to get the ball into the circle. Across the

:22:22.:22:33.

field. They will lose possession. A quick counterattack from Australia.

:22:34.:22:45.

Look at that, the commitment of the Australian skipper, Madonna live. --

:22:46.:23:06.

Blyth. Eastern. The most important statistic, the

:23:07.:23:25.

one on the top of the screen, it is two to Australia, Wales hanging on

:23:26.:23:40.

so far. Easton, a good strong tackle on her. Not very often you see

:23:41.:23:49.

advantage played out of defence, unless it helps the defensive team.

:23:50.:24:03.

Madonna Blyth. Blyth needs to take a few seconds. Once again, a very

:24:04.:24:14.

quick play. She has to get some end product on that, she is not under

:24:15.:24:18.

pressure on that shot. She could take an extra touch or so on the

:24:19.:24:23.

backhand. How many times have we seen them going over the bar. Wales

:24:24.:24:28.

giving the ball away, a pretty crucial area. She gets the free

:24:29.:24:41.

hit. The chance to relieve the pressure. That will be an Australian

:24:42.:24:55.

ball. Driving it goal words. Penalty corner. -- goalwards.

:24:56.:25:10.

It is a simple ball in, the Australian just behind the Welsh

:25:11.:25:20.

player, Wilkinson has just slipped, you take the choice, try to take the

:25:21.:25:25.

ball, or keep yourself up. You could see her disappointment once it was

:25:26.:25:30.

given. Two from seven, not a bad statistic. Better than Game one.

:25:31.:25:40.

Jodie Kenny and Anna Flanagan waiting. That was a real boomer. The

:25:41.:25:56.

penalty corners are on song. Jodie Kenny known for her drag flicking,

:25:57.:26:01.

really difficult when somebody has the ability to hit the ball and

:26:02.:26:08.

flick the ball. The goalkeeper will be disappointed it has not made her.

:26:09.:26:14.

3-0 is probably what Australia deserved. -- nutmegged. 30 minutes

:26:15.:26:34.

left in the first spell, two lots of 35. Wales not in a hurry to take

:26:35.:26:52.

this. Brooks beautiful angled pass, but under a lot of pressure from the

:26:53.:26:54.

Australians. Catching Flannigan's foot. Hughes.

:26:55.:27:15.

Up and over into the sunshine. In the shadow of the

:27:16.:27:15.

Up and over into the sunshine. In the shadow main stand. Local time is

:27:16.:27:30.

just after 2:30pm in the afternoon. Australian conditions when you look

:27:31.:27:38.

at the heat. Flanagan, has her captain to her left but drives

:27:39.:27:44.

forward, putting pressure on the Welsh defence.

:27:45.:28:05.

Nearly picked off and Male having to boot it out. Georgie Parker. Number

:28:06.:28:30.

19, for Australia. Wales having trouble getting the ball out of

:28:31.:28:32.

their defensive third. Still locked in their defensive

:28:33.:28:58.

third. Trouble now as they steamed towards the goal. There it is. You

:28:59.:29:04.

could almost sense that building up for Australia. Emily Smith. Very

:29:05.:29:16.

patient play. They had three or four players overloading the left side.

:29:17.:29:22.

Straight ball through, used her body well. Simple goal, really. Australia

:29:23.:29:31.

opened their account yesterday against Malaysia. That was a

:29:32.:29:38.

40-macro win. Wales looking disorganised.

:29:39.:29:57.

-- 4-0. Another penalty corner. Just Australian pressure and the strength

:29:58.:30:14.

in the tackle. Could have been stronger and lower in the tackle but

:30:15.:30:19.

the amounts of work she is having to cover defensively, just rolled the

:30:20.:30:22.

ball onto her foot. Another variation here. And goal number

:30:23.:30:29.

five. Australia seem able to score at will. Kenny gets her hat-trick.

:30:30.:30:39.

She can drag flick, she can hit. This seems to be the favoured side.

:30:40.:30:46.

It is highly up. It should either goalkeeper trying to make that

:30:47.:30:56.

same. As a player you should be trying to stop anything low on the

:30:57.:31:00.

ground but then anything how you should allow the goalkeeper to use

:31:01.:31:06.

the gloves. Bit of frustration creeping in. Time for Wales at the

:31:07.:31:14.

break to compose themselves. 5-0 Australia. You get the impression

:31:15.:31:19.

they are not operating at 100%. Sian French Bowden, up and over into

:31:20.:31:57.

the sun. Danger. That was a good steel by Jones. They are on the way.

:31:58.:32:05.

Danielle Jordan had the ball for Wales and went into the circle. She

:32:06.:32:18.

was in the right place. Nearly got a touch, but Rachael Lynch in golf

:32:19.:32:30.

Australia was very short. -- in goal for Australia. Good to see the

:32:31.:32:41.

commitment. Brilliant ball in. Two Welsh players with the opportunity

:32:42.:32:54.

to get a touch. Emma Batten, that it had trademark, sliding in. Fair play

:32:55.:33:01.

to Rachael Lynch keeping her eye on the ball. Flanagan to take the ball.

:33:02.:33:12.

Pushing up high. breathe, the Australians. They sense

:33:13.:33:44.

any chink in your defence. They are looking to hurt you. Hughes, not

:33:45.:34:01.

much opened up in front. But again, gives the ball away. The ball is

:34:02.:34:11.

live, Australia looking for goal number six. Might have been looking

:34:12.:34:19.

for a bit more than just a long corner. Australia on the hunt again.

:34:20.:34:26.

Reverse hits? No, just wide. They are running into the right spots,

:34:27.:34:30.

running off the ball. Yes they are. The build-up to late to this final

:34:31.:34:35.

opportunity by Kellie White. She will be disappointed she has not hit

:34:36.:34:41.

the target. Wales had the ball in defence, but the Australians are

:34:42.:34:44.

winning the ball high up the pitch. Getting numbers up there to support

:34:45.:34:47.

the baulk area. -- ball carrier. Wales are pushing up now. Wilkinson.

:34:48.:35:13.

Just the pressure isn't it, Brooks Peris. Off-loads to Kellie White.

:35:14.:35:18.

Drive into the circle again. Better pass from use, but wasn't

:35:19.:35:43.

ready for the one back. Brooks Peris has the chance again. Good save by

:35:44.:36:09.

Ria Male. Into the circle again. Not a lot of room to exit the ball.

:36:10.:36:25.

Madonna Blyth, gets through three players. Flanagan. Across the

:36:26.:36:36.

circle. Clumsy, trying to regain the ball.

:36:37.:36:49.

Budd. Need to get it out of here, Wales. When she looks up, all she

:36:50.:37:06.

can see is yellow. 12 passes at some magic being weaved by Georgie

:37:07.:37:15.

Parker. Brooks Perris. Anna Flanagan. Pouring on towards the

:37:16.:37:21.

Welsh defence. That is better from Hughes. Debt of commitment. -- bit

:37:22.:37:29.

of commitment. Anna Flanagan. Australia pouring on

:37:30.:38:14.

the pressure here. She will take a two-minute break that stick tackle.

:38:15.:38:21.

She will be there until half-time, Jodie Kenny. Here is another card

:38:22.:38:28.

coming. This time it looks like Georgie Parker is off for Wales.

:38:29.:38:35.

Alys Brooks has been given a green card as well. Both teams playing

:38:36.:38:43.

with ten players. Into the last minute of the first spell.

:38:44.:39:02.

Madonna Blyth, the captain for Australia. Good work from her. A

:39:03.:39:18.

corner to finish the half. Some determined defensive work needed by

:39:19.:39:28.

Wales. Already 5-0. Great skills on the baseline. It is so difficult

:39:29.:39:34.

a defender to try to defend against. Australia

:39:35.:39:40.

a defender to try to defend against. attack with pace. Wales are

:39:41.:39:44.

struggling to get numbers around the baulk area. Kenny is after. She has

:39:45.:39:57.

already scored a hat-trick. -- ball carrier. Madonna Blyth is waiting.

:39:58.:40:05.

Went to Flanagan. It is high and wide. It will remain the five goals.

:40:06.:40:17.

Flanagan running off, to get the liquid intake. Chance for Wales to

:40:18.:40:21.

compose themselves and hope to put together a better 35 minutes.

:40:22.:40:27.

Australia showing all their class and number two status in the world.

:40:28.:40:34.

Flanagan goes over to the coach. 5-0, to Australia.

:40:35.:40:43.

Unfortunately for Wales, that contest going through to form.

:40:44.:40:48.

Australia have won four out of the last five Commonwealth titles. They

:40:49.:40:53.

are the team to beat. We will be back at the National hockey centre.

:40:54.:40:59.

But let's take the time during the half-time break to reflect on what

:41:00.:41:04.

was a sensational opening day for Scotland, as far as the judo is

:41:05.:41:10.

concerned. 11 medals went to the home nations yesterday.

:41:11.:41:12.

concerned. 11 medals went to the home nations One man came out of

:41:13.:41:16.

retirement especially or his home Championships.

:41:17.:41:21.

retirement especially or his home gains in 12 years. John Buchanan,

:41:22.:41:30.

you won a bronze medal yesterday, as it's sunk in? It has been immense.

:41:31.:41:36.

When I woke up this morning, I had to pinch myself an as, did that

:41:37.:41:38.

really happen? The way everybody delivered yesterday, it was

:41:39.:41:41.

amazing. I think we have got the team off to a great start. Act I had

:41:42.:42:15.

an overwhelming sense of relief. As I walked on for the bronze medal,

:42:16.:42:20.

walking up the steps, they were on the front row. My wife, Claire, with

:42:21.:42:27.

her head in her hands. The kids were really into it by then, as was the

:42:28.:42:33.

rest of the crowd. Really nice, it would be difficult to top that. If I

:42:34.:42:43.

came back into judo, which I will not do again! Is Rio in your

:42:44.:42:52.

sights, I asked yesterday? You were in fact it, no way I will be back on

:42:53.:43:13.

that map. -- mat. No way, the chap you beat me, Ashley, he will be

going to Rio, fast and sharp, training full-time. Difficult for a

dad of three to come in after ten years, I gave him a good run for his

:43:27.:43:32.

money, but he is a frontrunner. It is keeping your weight, with a busy

:43:33.:43:42.

family life, a huge challenge? It is really tough, sacrificing. It does

:43:43.:43:46.

not make me the easiest person to live with, especially a couple of

:43:47.:43:50.

weeks out from a major championships. I have to take my hat

:43:51.:43:55.

off to Claire, for taking over, dealing with the kids. I am

:43:56.:44:01.

definitely finished now, which will make family life a lot easier. You

:44:02.:44:13.

have nine clubs along with Claire? We run nine clubs, along with my

:44:14.:44:16.

business partner, he used to be my coach. Between us we have 700 kids

:44:17.:44:25.

doing judo. I'm hoping after yesterday's performance and

:44:26.:44:31.

today's, all the guys fighting for medals, with Sarah Clark in the

:44:32.:44:36.

final, that will catapult the sport into the public eye again,

:44:37.:44:41.

especially for the girls. Judo is seen as a male pastime, we are

:44:42.:44:52.

hoping for more gold medals, and girl will flock to the clubs. A

:44:53.:44:58.

dream start for Team Scotland? And this weather? It has been immense,

:44:59.:45:10.

never known Glasgow to be like this. Look at us on the quayside. Good to

:45:11.:45:24.

see you. Well done for yesterday. Before we head off to the National

:45:25.:45:35.

hockey centre. Let's hear from the Englandwomen's camp. Kate

:45:36.:45:40.

Richardson-Walsh won almost everything there is to be won in

:45:41.:45:46.

hockey, she wants to go out on a high, and has been talking to Gabby

:45:47.:45:48.

hockey, she wants to go out on a high, and has been talking Logan in

:45:49.:45:54.

the run-up to the games. Hello, how are you. This is our training

:45:55.:46:05.

centre. Can you believe we are coming up to almost two years since

:46:06.:46:10.

London? The Commonwealth Games seemed an age away? I have to pinch

:46:11.:46:16.

myself, when I go into schools, and I have a little video clip of 2012,

:46:17.:46:24.

they must think, get over it! I cannot believe it, it has gone so

:46:25.:46:31.

quickly. I think you can tell straight away, that is not good. The

:46:32.:46:36.

pain must have been immediate, you must have known this was quite

:46:37.:46:41.

serious. I cannot remember specifically feeling pain, I got

:46:42.:46:47.

cramp, and having some shock. Straightaway my teeth were in the

:46:48.:46:53.

middle of my mouth. I had fractured my jaw all the way to the end. The

:46:54.:47:01.

surgeon came in and said he could fix it. I thought that would be the

:47:02.:47:06.

end of it. I thought I would play again in the Olympics. They said

:47:07.:47:14.

they could get me back. Whatever he said, I was living with hope.

:47:15.:47:20.

Anybody would have done the same thing, you have trained that hard,

:47:21.:47:23.

you have the dream of winning the gold medal at a home games, I was

:47:24.:47:29.

going to take any option to get onto the pitch. As the tournament

:47:30.:47:35.

developed, and he came back, what was that like? Knowing an Olympic

:47:36.:47:39.

medal could be yours? Interesting, we had lost the semifinal against

:47:40.:47:44.

Argentina, 24 hours previously to the bronze medal game. We had 24

:47:45.:47:51.

hours of darkness. A lot of tears, soul-searching. We had discussed it.

:47:52.:48:00.

We knew how to deal with it. By the time it got to the bronze medal

:48:01.:48:04.

game, the feeling among the team, I will never forget it. Just knowing,

:48:05.:48:13.

we were going to do this. Absolutely brilliant. What a comeback this has

:48:14.:48:22.

been. Great Britain have won the bronze medals. If 2012 was an

:48:23.:48:29.

emotional roller-coaster, professionally a very high year,

:48:30.:48:35.

2013 was a very big year for you? It was a big year on and off the pitch.

:48:36.:48:40.

I got engaged and married. That was amazing. There are so few openly gay

:48:41.:48:51.

sports across any sport. -- openly gay sportspeople. Your wife is in

:48:52.:48:59.

the same team, I cannot think of that in any sport, you are unique?

:49:00.:49:04.

Yes, it is funny, you don't see it from the outside perspective. We

:49:05.:49:08.

were a couple, we love each other, we happen to play in the same team.

:49:09.:49:15.

Our team-mates, friends, family have been so supportive, we don't see

:49:16.:49:17.

anything strange or different. Certainly I know this is my last

:49:18.:49:31.

season playing in the international team. He last fitness test, the last

:49:32.:49:39.

tournament, the last one. -- it is the last fitness test. That is for

:49:40.:49:44.

definite? If you come away with the gold medal that has eluded you? It

:49:45.:49:53.

is not that long to Rio? My body feels quite good, funnily enough, it

:49:54.:49:59.

is everything else. I have spoken to a lot of people who have retired,

:50:00.:50:05.

they say, you just know. It is time for me, time for the squad, there

:50:06.:50:09.

are a lot of other things I want to do. The next chapter is ready.

:50:10.:50:17.

As you can see, they have already restarted the second half at the

:50:18.:50:28.

National Hockey Centre. Let's rejoin our commentators.

:50:29.:50:33.

Taking over the position. Interesting, both sets of players

:50:34.:50:43.

taking longer to come out onto the turf, given the temperatures. It is

:50:44.:50:51.

into the high 30s. A very hot day in Glasgow. The temperature sitting at

:50:52.:51:00.

around 24, but hotter in the middle. What can they do with this

:51:01.:51:04.

possession? It has been gold for them. Wilkinson has the ball for

:51:05.:51:15.

Wales. Keen to put some dominance into the, Wales. It has been a bit

:51:16.:51:27.

tentative. Across to Westwood. She has the look up, what is on offer?

:51:28.:51:32.

They will keep possession, good option. Brooks coming back on for

:51:33.:51:37.

Wales. Kenny is back on, 11 aside. option. Brooks coming back on for

:51:38.:51:46.

Wales. Kenny That lifted ball given Jake Jade Taylor won to chase.

:51:47.:52:17.

Australia on the move. Westwood. Forcing Wales to go back. The screen

:52:18.:52:27.

is set up by her team-mates, losing possession. Here they go, the

:52:28.:52:41.

Australians. Madonna Blyth, a quick look across the park. It is still in

:52:42.:52:49.

play, a marvel, Australia keep the ball, it never goes out. Penalty

:52:50.:52:55.

corner. Good result. Patient defending.

:52:56.:53:06.

A stronger start by Wales in the opening minutes of this half.

:53:07.:53:20.

The Wales coach has been in the job since 2002. Westwood. Can she keep

:53:21.:53:36.

it? More Wales players surrounding the ball. When they are out letting

:53:37.:53:43.

from the back, not just going with a back four, trying to push Wilkinson

:53:44.:53:51.

through. You have to give them credit. They are trying different

:53:52.:53:59.

things, and trying to implement the coach's tactics. They are doing

:54:00.:54:02.

their best, which is all you can really ask for. Absolutely right.

:54:03.:54:08.

They did magnificently well against England, keeping them to two. They

:54:09.:54:13.

had to work hard, has that game taking something out of the legs of

:54:14.:54:18.

the Welsh team? Not to take anything away from Australia, they have been

:54:19.:54:24.

top drawer. Just intercepted to easily. A chance. A sixth goal for

:54:25.:54:34.

Australia, you cannot leave them alone. Anything she may have stolen

:54:35.:54:47.

it, the ball was going in, you can tell from her reaction, she has

:54:48.:54:55.

tapped in Emily Smith's ball. She has grabbed a goal off her mate. It

:54:56.:55:01.

is something you do in practice, instinctive. She is on the

:55:02.:55:17.

scoresheet. Brooke Peris. They all count. Being a defender, I just look

:55:18.:55:22.

for a team result, but I'm sure the strikers will disagree. They are

:55:23.:55:26.

testing the Welsh resolve, this Australian side. Structure,

:55:27.:55:30.

positioning, running off the ball. The wave of gold again. Pushing

:55:31.:55:56.

towards the Welsh keeper. Going into the circle, Wales get to relieve the

:55:57.:56:18.

pressure. Even the 16s are not easy exits. They have determined running,

:56:19.:56:24.

Australia, causing a turnover straightaway. Ball into the circle.

:56:25.:56:33.

Madonna Blyth, can she get the shot away? Not quite, but the ball will

:56:34.:56:36.

be back in there. ball. Australia basically press with

:56:37.:57:08.

seven players. ball. Australia basically When you

:57:09.:57:17.

look up as a defender, it is very intimidating?

:57:18.:57:50.

When you think you have got a bit of momentum, it is not good.

:57:51.:58:02.

Taylor outside, she opts not to use it, but now she puts the little pass

:58:03.:58:13.

on and catches Taylor's feet. It won't be an Australian ball, Jones

:58:14.:58:20.

finds Tucker, dispossessed. This time the fast legs of Eastham. She

:58:21.:58:26.

is busy, Eastham, isn't she? A bit of indecision that time

:58:27.:58:43.

between the Australians. They have got possession back, a nice little

:58:44.:58:45.

soft pass. There is a lot of unheralded work

:58:46.:59:08.

for Australia, McMahon. Yeah, she does, and being so young, if you

:59:09.:59:12.

know she's going to have a big future ahead of her, taking over the

:59:13.:59:18.

central midfield position that Eastham and Blyth are playing. Into

:59:19.:59:20.

the circle now again. McMahon gets the ball back, but

:59:21.:59:37.

always a couple of Australians surrounding the ball. So Eastham

:59:38.:59:44.

now. She finds Kenny. Tribune into the circle, a free shot at goal,

:59:45.:59:50.

what a super finish. That is Georgina Parker, she is on the

:59:51.:59:53.

scoresheet again today, as she was yesterday, with two goals. Jodie

:59:54.:00:01.

Kenny hitting the ball, a fantastic lead, first touch, putting the ball

:00:02.:00:10.

exactly where she wanted to go. Male stood no chance, 7-0 Australia. That

:00:11.:00:16.

is one of the best we have seen today from Georgie Parker.

:00:17.:00:43.

Bone, across to Flannigan, out on the left.

:00:44.:00:53.

Well read this time, gets past two, she will get the free hit, good work

:00:54.:00:59.

from the captain. Lee Wilkinson. -- Lee. Squeezing the

:01:00.:01:19.

Welsh defenders, reducing the options.

:01:20.:01:31.

A subtle paint from Blyth. -- feint. You will not get many determined

:01:32.:01:47.

players than Madonna Blyth. Nanscawen. Flannigan cannot take it

:01:48.:01:54.

cleanly. Here she is, got the ball, into the circle now, off-loads, but

:01:55.:02:01.

straight back into Bone. Reading it so well, and they? A couple of

:02:02.:02:13.

options always. Peris. Switching the point of attack from left to right,

:02:14.:02:15.

back to Eastham in the middle. She will leave it for Hughes to take

:02:16.:02:57.

out on the left flank. Lifting it up and over, good bit of work. Keeping

:02:58.:03:06.

in that pocket, but the execution of the next pass is not flash. But you

:03:07.:03:12.

can see what they are trying to do. That is the thing, they are trying

:03:13.:03:17.

to play hockey, and some things are not quite coming off for them, but

:03:18.:03:20.

it is a positive thing that they want to keep passing the ball to

:03:21.:03:23.

each other and running their patterns of play. But this is a

:03:24.:03:29.

dominant Australian performance. Good screen that time by Wales, and

:03:30.:03:33.

they have picked up the ball, but not for long. Parker has it, looking

:03:34.:03:36.

for support on the right not for long. Parker has it, looking

:03:37.:03:41.

get it on the back of her foot. So I guess, when you look at the

:03:42.:03:56.

Australian side, as Wales try to exit that ball, a couple of new

:03:57.:04:01.

famous Australian women are key players, Jayde Taylor, Brooke

:04:02.:04:11.

Perris. -- Peris. Here comes Wales, into the attacking third.

:04:12.:04:19.

She cannot get past the wall of Australian players, and it is only

:04:20.:04:31.

loose for a brief second as White slams the ball down. That is a magic

:04:32.:04:39.

finish, what a goal! What a team goal from Australia, and it is

:04:40.:04:45.

Georgina Parker who finishes off. Brilliant bit of play, initially I

:04:46.:04:49.

thought White hat not got hold of the ball in the middle of the field,

:04:50.:04:53.

but a fantastic reverse stick pass, very soft hands to deflect the ball

:04:54.:04:57.

exactly where Parker wanted it to go, three goals for her in the game.

:04:58.:05:06.

There she is, Georgina Parker, and the salutation at the end of that

:05:07.:05:10.

was for the build-up, the team goal, not so much for the self, and that

:05:11.:05:14.

is what they practice, they spend hours putting that together. That

:05:15.:05:20.

has come together superbly well. Any young person watching, male or

:05:21.:05:27.

female, can take a lot from that. That is real gold, isn't it? It is,

:05:28.:05:33.

and it is the willingness of the other forwards to run out, to

:05:34.:05:37.

and it is the willingness of the up the passing lane straight down

:05:38.:05:41.

the middle of the pitch for them. Passes always going to their

:05:42.:05:51.

team-mate's stakes. -- sticks. The offside was not successful, but she

:05:52.:05:52.

was in the right place. Bone, it comes off her legs, play on

:05:53.:06:37.

is the call. Blyth will have to bring the ball back.

:06:38.:06:42.

Such high standards, a re-occurrence in this match when the ball did not

:06:43.:06:57.

go to an Australian stick. -- a rare occurrence.

:06:58.:07:07.

Oh, the tackle from McMahon, does it well, re-gains possession for her

:07:08.:07:19.

side, that wave again. A tidal wave, you would call it. Good work by

:07:20.:07:25.

Jones for Wales, Jordan popped that flank. Good, fast play, this is

:07:26.:07:35.

better from Wales. The new player into the Welsh white, Sophie

:07:36.:07:46.

Clayton, driving into the circle. -- the Welsh squad. Better from Wales.

:07:47.:07:54.

No-one at the top. Conscious of the fast break out, and here it comes.

:07:55.:08:00.

Melanie Smith, will she get the ball back? It will be Peris who latches

:08:01.:08:06.

onto this, free space into the circle, can she get the shot away?

:08:07.:08:11.

Oh, it is in, it is goal number nine! It is the angle, across, and

:08:12.:08:20.

Nanscawen goes over to thank the parser, Peris. Reverse stick into

:08:21.:08:26.

the circle. Fantastic play by Peris, I thought she was going to take the

:08:27.:08:31.

shot on the backhand, rolled back onto a strong side, squeezes the

:08:32.:08:35.

ball into the turf to get it over the Welsh defender's stick.

:08:36.:08:40.

Nanscawen was there to tap it in, basically. They are stiffing them

:08:41.:08:46.

out, Australia, Nanscawen is one of the hardest workers in the

:08:47.:08:48.

international game, and she is rewarded for that goal.

:08:49.:08:55.

16 minutes left in the match, and I am sure Australia have not finished

:08:56.:08:58.

with that scoreline. Jason Kenny -- Jodie Kenny starting

:08:59.:09:05.

the scoring. Perfect, accurate pass. McMahon has

:09:06.:09:32.

got Flanagan waiting. I am sure she would love to get on the

:09:33.:09:41.

scoresheet, Anna Flanagan. It is Blyth, the captain. She gets the

:09:42.:09:49.

boot in, Male, the goalkeeper has a real verbal goal at her players, and

:09:50.:09:51.

it is not over yet. Unselfish play, and this is the one

:09:52.:10:03.

side of Madonna Blyth's game that she really needs to look at, she

:10:04.:10:08.

does so much hard work around the field. By the time she finds herself

:10:09.:10:12.

in the circle, she has probably run out of steam a bit. But you know,

:10:13.:10:18.

Male has made a good save, and from Blyth's perspective, she put the

:10:19.:10:23.

ball on target. Locked in that defensive third, Wales. It is all

:10:24.:10:31.

good practice. It is a team ranked 32nd in the world against the team

:10:32.:10:37.

ranked number two. How else do you get to be better, unless you played

:10:38.:10:38.

the best? Be tall, lanky frame of Jodie Kenny

:10:39.:11:10.

across to McMahon. Strong, not quite as accurate. Adam Cummins will be

:11:11.:11:16.

very happy with his team in this match so far.

:11:17.:11:29.

McMahon, there she goes. Just cannot quite link up. It doesn't matter,

:11:30.:11:45.

does it? 13 minutes left in the match and they are still operating

:11:46.:11:47.

on high octane gas. And she is asking for the stroke.

:11:48.:12:26.

No, she is not. She instinctively put your hand up. And they are

:12:27.:12:41.

continuing. Into the circle, and that hedge your own player on the

:12:42.:12:45.

back of the legs. Wales, through the midfield. Richards was there, she

:12:46.:12:51.

has got the ball. Phoebe Richards. midfield. Richards was there, she

:12:52.:13:02.

There is too much pace. There is too much precision. And it pass.

:13:03.:13:15.

Wilkinson, she did not want to lose that. This is better from Wales.

:13:16.:13:31.

Richards. She was pushing too far ahead. Flannigan. She is not on the

:13:32.:14:06.

scoresheet. Casey Eastham. Three passes and then that midfield

:14:07.:14:13.

dribble. She still finds the player in the circle. She gets the corner.

:14:14.:14:40.

20 seconds for the defenders to get their gear on and Casey Eastham to

:14:41.:14:47.

inject the ball from the baseline. She has got Jodie Kenny at the top.

:14:48.:14:54.

And Karri McMahon. The other flanker is on the bench at the moment. Will

:14:55.:14:59.

it be the lay-off or the direct shot? And she makes two saves. The

:15:00.:15:16.

long corner. Ria Male, for Wales. Any saved is a good save against a

:15:17.:15:25.

world-class unit. I do not know if she quite got a hold of that as much

:15:26.:15:30.

as she wanted to. But that was a very good save by Ria Male in goal.

:15:31.:15:34.

The ball is out of trouble for Wales. Xenna Hughes. Jordan. She

:15:35.:16:00.

off-loads. This is better from Wales. Just infringing on a five

:16:01.:16:10.

metre zone. For the person bringing down the aerial ball. Taylor, drives

:16:11.:16:15.

that at the goal. Anna Flanagan is back on. And

:16:16.:16:39.

Georgia Nanscawen. White is hovering.

:16:40.:16:48.

Again, very quick to turn on the spot, Brooke Peris. If they have a

:16:49.:17:00.

training session, this will be something she will be keen to work

:17:01.:17:06.

on. They are about perfection, the Australians. There is only one

:17:07.:17:13.

player who did not make it here. And that is Emily Hewitt. Downfield,

:17:14.:17:18.

accurate, hard and fast. The Wales coach, Amanda Partington.

:17:19.:17:49.

Always looking, scanning to see where she is going to put the ball

:17:50.:17:51.

next. There is always the second player,

:17:52.:18:00.

and third. That was good from Emma Batten but

:18:01.:18:30.

she had no support. That is a clever pass from Australia. Again, they

:18:31.:18:36.

have players in position. Strong clearance. She catches the stick in

:18:37.:18:46.

her rib cage. We will see what happened. She has been head on her

:18:47.:18:57.

stick -- on her chin, underneath her jawline. -- hit on her. They have

:18:58.:19:11.

covered so much, the Australians, they do not stay down for long. That

:19:12.:19:24.

was an unforced error, you do not see much of that. And the difference

:19:25.:19:35.

in speed, they are trying to execute these passes, one, two, three.

:19:36.:19:38.

Wales, Xenna Hughes. Quick hands, the top of the D. She

:19:39.:19:58.

has the shot at goal. Emily Smith, she wanted more. Better accuracy.

:19:59.:20:05.

She did not even give a chance to her team-mate to get her stick onto

:20:06.:20:08.

it. They have toiled hard. Jo Westwood,

:20:09.:20:25.

Leah Wilkinson. Can she get the ball across? Can she

:20:26.:20:51.

have a shot yourself? That was worth a go. -- herself. James Taylor was

:20:52.:21:11.

in there. Madonna Blyth was signalling that she wanted a

:21:12.:21:19.

referral, anyway. --. They are both on the field, Anna Flanagan and

:21:20.:21:27.

Jodie Kenny. Three out of those five goals. In the first half.

:21:28.:21:48.

That is Anna Flanagan, at the goal, that was taken on the body. That

:21:49.:21:53.

courageous running! I think they were going for the

:21:54.:22:08.

option because the ball was further back and Anna Flanagan was probably

:22:09.:22:12.

looking for the deflection. That was great running down the barrel to

:22:13.:22:21.

stop the ball getting there. Soft hands, but she does not find Emily

:22:22.:22:29.

Smith. Wales have quickened up their exit ball.

:22:30.:22:39.

Georgia Nanscawen. Fast running. Getting into position for the second

:22:40.:22:52.

pass. Still operating in Top Gear, this is high octane hockey from the

:22:53.:22:55.

Australian side. Not really wishing one bit. -- billing wishing. The

:22:56.:23:06.

last time the sides met was in 2012 in Dublin. Australia were the

:23:07.:23:16.

winners, 4-0. They started their campaign under Adam Commens and

:23:17.:23:20.

every tournament they have been in in the last 18 months, they have

:23:21.:23:26.

been getting a medal. That is a new beginning for this hockey side.

:23:27.:23:36.

She will take the deflection and take up just outside. -- take that.

:23:37.:24:21.

She drives her own player, just a little bit of self-preservation.

:24:22.:24:37.

On the move. Elie Barnes and Leah Wilkinson. That just catches her

:24:38.:25:00.

foot. The umpire said on the line. We are near the end of the match.

:25:01.:25:09.

Can they get anything out of this? This is better for Wales. Asking for

:25:10.:25:23.

the penalty. The last ten seconds. The corner. They will get a chance.

:25:24.:25:30.

They will get to play this. No, they won't. So, Australia are 9-0 up.

:25:31.:25:41.

They have the corner. Team referral. I can hear you. They say they

:25:42.:26:18.

already had a shot at goal. But for me, there was no shot at goal. Can

:26:19.:26:26.

you have a look for me. I am going to save they had an advantage and a

:26:27.:26:30.

shot at goal. I will have a look. Thank you. What does it say about

:26:31.:26:38.

Australia, they could have defended and it would be quite good to be in

:26:39.:26:43.

that pressure, but they have read that well. The goalkeeper has not

:26:44.:26:48.

had anything to do today, Rachael Lynch. She has been looking.

:26:49.:26:57.

Clearly, there was the foot writer. You can see the excitement from the

:26:58.:27:02.

Welsh players. She does not have that shot at goal, she misses that.

:27:03.:27:06.

The hooter went off before she gave that corner. There was that

:27:07.:27:08.

2-pronged attack. I have a decision for you, OK? There

:27:09.:27:27.

was no advantage, you can award the penalty corner and they will lose

:27:28.:27:35.

the advantage. So a worthwhile exercise may be for Australia, the

:27:36.:27:38.

upshot is that they will defend this. I guess it is all in the

:27:39.:27:46.

interpretation, and that is what has been deemed.

:27:47.:28:06.

Wales, have they got it, one last opportunity? Lynch makes a great

:28:07.:28:19.

save, but it is a wonderful display of hockey skill, and look at that

:28:20.:28:26.

scoreline, it tells you so much. Jodie Kenny, a hat trick in the

:28:27.:28:34.

game, Georgie Parker, the same score as against Malaysian yesterday. So

:28:35.:28:37.

impressive, and they have offered such different skills. They keep the

:28:38.:28:43.

opposition guessing, the subtleties of the ball. What do you say about a

:28:44.:28:50.

team like this? Just stunning hockey. It is stunning, and it is

:28:51.:28:54.

their basic skill level which is so much better than any other team I

:28:55.:28:59.

have seen so far. A couple of teams we have not seen yet, but it does

:29:00.:29:03.

not matter whether ball is, they are still able to get a pass away,

:29:04.:29:09.

fantastic performance by Australia. Here we are, 9-0, Australia over

:29:10.:29:15.

Wales. So Australia's women in formidable

:29:16.:29:20.

form, winning 9-0 against Wales, and they are clearly the favourites for

:29:21.:29:25.

the title. They have won it three times out of the last four occasions

:29:26.:29:29.

as far as the Commonwealth Games goes, so there's for the taking. For

:29:30.:29:36.

Wales, though, two defeats in two, and as was the prediction before the

:29:37.:29:39.

tournament had started, the lowest ranked side clearly well and truly

:29:40.:29:43.

up against it in terms of qualifying from the group stages. We have moved

:29:44.:29:47.

away from the safety of the studio by the big stage here at the

:29:48.:29:51.

quayside in the middle of Glasgow, and we are now on the bridge, a

:29:52.:29:56.

fantastic backdrop. If you have not had a look at it, that is the

:29:57.:30:05.

Allianz Arena of Glasgow, it kind of changes, the one in the middle,

:30:06.:30:08.

which changes colour depending on what kind of concert or sporting

:30:09.:30:13.

occasion is taking place. That is soon to host the boxing finals, as

:30:14.:30:16.

well as the netball finals. Next to it, affectionately known as the

:30:17.:30:24.

Armadillo, officially the Clyde Auditorium. Two lifting competitions

:30:25.:30:29.

for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, powerlifting and weightlifting. And

:30:30.:30:33.

I suppose the one structure that overlooks everything here is the

:30:34.:30:38.

crane, there it is, hugely impressive, actually, it is my first

:30:39.:30:44.

time in Glasgow for at least 20 years. It is one of only 11

:30:45.:30:49.

cantilever cranes in the world. In fact, there are four of them

:30:50.:30:52.

alongside the River Clyde in itself. And then the bridge, just behind

:30:53.:31:02.

us. And it is a fantastic day two for Glasgow 2014. These are the

:31:03.:31:07.

pictures from above Kelvingrove, the people's Palace actually, Vasco once

:31:08.:31:12.

again bathed in sunshine. It is a fantastic occasion. -- Glasgow. This

:31:13.:31:19.

is Glasgow Green, the biggest public park in the city of Glasgow.

:31:20.:31:24.

Kelvingrove for the bowling is just there, you can see the university

:31:25.:31:27.

building, the gallery and art museum, a fantastic backdrop for the

:31:28.:31:32.

lawn bowls. If anybody is on the way up, it is picturesque, to say the

:31:33.:31:37.

least. Time now to catch the latest news updates, all you need to know

:31:38.:31:41.

in 60 seconds. And it's about time

:31:42.:31:47.

that I did something about that. Hi, we'll get you back to the Games

:31:48.:31:59.

after the headlines in 60 seconds. Three-year-old Mikaeel Kular's

:32:00.:32:25.

badly beaten body was found in woodland

:32:26.:32:27.

near Kirkcaldy in January. Today his mother Rosdeep

:32:28.:32:29.

admitted killing him. His disappearance prompted

:32:30.:32:30.

a huge police search. You might not feel any richer,

:32:31.:32:32.

but the economy's booming. before the global financial crash

:32:33.:32:34.

six years ago. David Cameron's called the trend

:32:35.:32:38.

a milestone. Welsh hurdler Rhys Williams

:32:39.:32:40.

is out of the Commonwealth Games He says he's not knowingly taken

:32:41.:32:43.

a banned substance. Williams was co-captain

:32:44.:32:47.

of Team Wales. Tulisa's been convicted

:32:48.:32:49.

of assaulting a celebrity blogger. She hit Savvas Morgan at the

:32:50.:32:52.

V Festival in Essex last year. And a bit of dancing

:32:53.:32:55.

and riding a bike. Yes, even the royals

:32:56.:32:59.

filmed themselves for an exhibition

:33:00.:33:01.

about the royal childhood. You're up to date,

:33:02.:33:07.

so back to Manish in Glasgow. Yeah, I am looking for

:33:08.:33:18.

a Prince Charming. I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't

:33:19.:33:20.

think I'm, like, really pretty. I say, "You've got something

:33:21.:33:24.

on your bum." "Really?" And I say, Hello there, welcome back to BBC

:33:25.:34:24.

Three's live coverage of Glasgow 2014, and fabulous day here in

:34:25.:34:30.

Scotland. The sun is shining once again, there are reports the weather

:34:31.:34:34.

will turn in the next 24 hours, but the people are out, whether they are

:34:35.:34:38.

Scottish, tourists, or indeed the athletes mingling around in the city

:34:39.:34:42.

centre. As far as they are concerned, they are having a

:34:43.:34:46.

terrific time. We have been reporting from the drama of London

:34:47.:34:50.

2012, the boxing event back in the excel Arena. I have been looking

:34:51.:34:54.

2012, the boxing event back in the forward to seeing more boxing at the

:34:55.:34:56.

Commonwealth Games, and it is all happening at the FCC -- SECC

:34:57.:35:10.

Precinct, which is hosting six ports, including the boxing. Our

:35:11.:35:20.

next bout is Lewis Benson of Scotland, and ringside as Richie

:35:21.:35:22.

Woodhall and Ron McIntosh. So the opening bell sounds in the 69

:35:23.:35:36.

kilograms welterweight contest. It is between Scotland's first

:35:37.:35:40.

representative in the boxing tournament so far, the first

:35:41.:35:42.

Scottish boxer in the ring, wearing blue, fighting out of the orthodox

:35:43.:35:49.

stance, Lewis Benson, 22 years of age, and his opponent wearing red,

:35:50.:35:55.

25 years of age from Christchurch, New Zealand, Bowyn Morgan, making

:35:56.:36:05.

his first appearance at a Commonwealth Games. He went on to

:36:06.:36:12.

win the first of four consecutive national titles. All at 69

:36:13.:36:17.

kilograms, the most dominant boxer in his nation, here he is making his

:36:18.:36:21.

Commonwealth Games debut against a home fighter who got hit with a good

:36:22.:36:29.

left hand. Benson has got the height and reach, and he has got to use

:36:30.:36:33.

that to good effect, jab, right hand as his opponent comes forward. His

:36:34.:36:38.

opponent is more compact. It is important that boxes in the centre

:36:39.:36:43.

of the ring, rather than back onto the ropes. If he can do that, keep

:36:44.:36:48.

the punches nice and straight and long, he shouldn't have too much

:36:49.:36:52.

trouble against this Kiwi boxer, who is easier to hit going forward. But

:36:53.:36:57.

Benson has got to stick to long-range tactics here. Four

:36:58.:37:01.

successive national titles for Bowyn Morgan. Lewis Benson almost

:37:02.:37:07.

replicated that, a looping right hand over the top there. He has

:37:08.:37:13.

taken national titles for the past three years, Benson, only one of

:37:14.:37:20.

them at 69 kilograms. His first two, in 2012 and 2013, came in the 64

:37:21.:37:24.

kilograms light-welterweight division. Recently moved up to 69,

:37:25.:37:28.

where he contested the World Championships in Baku in Kaz extant

:37:29.:37:34.

last year. He looks comfortable at the wait here. -- Kazakhstan. That

:37:35.:37:43.

is a punch that he can target, but the jab is the main weapon for

:37:44.:37:49.

Benson. He has to move to the side, rather than being pushed back. Stay

:37:50.:37:53.

in the centre of the ring, controlled the ring space at little

:37:54.:37:54.

bit better. Inside the final 30 seconds of this

:37:55.:38:06.

opening round. There you see the contrast in physics up close, the

:38:07.:38:10.

tall, lean, rangy physique of Lewis Benson. -- physiques. Far more

:38:11.:38:21.

compact and muscular figure of Bowyn Morgan, who was trying to use that

:38:22.:38:25.

muscularity to walk away at close quarters. There is the bell. That

:38:26.:38:31.

concludes this opening round, what a round of applause Lewis Benson is

:38:32.:38:34.

receiving as he makes his way back to the corner.

:38:35.:38:42.

Not too bad a first round from Benson, you can see he is a little

:38:43.:38:49.

bit nervous, but he has got the tools to win this contest. Back in a

:38:50.:38:52.

straight line, a bad position to be in, but he got better as the round

:38:53.:38:57.

went on, starting to box at range, punching long. Nice little left

:38:58.:39:03.

lock, but then he is caught. A better one -to coming back, he has

:39:04.:39:06.

to hit and move, maintain the gap, concentrate on boxing at distance

:39:07.:39:15.

without panicking. -- 1-2. All three of the judges have favoured the

:39:16.:39:20.

long-range boxing of Benson over the aggressive style of Morgan, he has

:39:21.:39:27.

taken it unanimously. That is encouraging, because the judges are

:39:28.:39:32.

appreciating that style of boxing. Into the second round we go, then,

:39:33.:39:36.

Bowyn Morgan will be aware that he is trailing. He has come out

:39:37.:39:43.

charging hard and fast to begin this second session. It is all about

:39:44.:39:47.

getting the timing right here. This fella is just going to keep coming

:39:48.:39:52.

forward, Morgan. He knows he is behind, he is marauding forward, but

:39:53.:39:56.

he is quite easy to heed if you get your timing right. It is all about

:39:57.:40:01.

timing, good foot movement. Demonstrating its beautifully right

:40:02.:40:05.

now, the art of hitting without being hit, Lewis Benson. Lovely. He

:40:06.:40:12.

said on social media that his face is too pretty to take punches, and

:40:13.:40:18.

he is defending it right... Oh, what a shot! That puts Benson in trouble.

:40:19.:40:23.

He says he is OK, but that is the danger when fighting a marauding

:40:24.:40:27.

aggressor like Bowyn Morgan. He can get in and wreak havoc. If you take

:40:28.:40:33.

shots like that, that is how your face becomes ugly. He has got to

:40:34.:40:37.

move, and still low, back onto the ropes. Get off the ropes, stay in

:40:38.:40:42.

the ring space, box at distance. Moved to the side! Fuchs really

:40:43.:40:48.

thundering in from Bowyn Morgan, who as closed the distance. -- hooks.

:40:49.:40:56.

Benson tux up his right hand. Just holding on to allow his head to

:40:57.:41:01.

clear, Lewis Benson. Still half of the round to negotiate, just under

:41:02.:41:09.

one minute 30 to go. A good stiff right hand from Benson, not too bad,

:41:10.:41:13.

but he has to be more accurate with his jab.

:41:14.:41:19.

Trying to encourage the first Scottish man in the rain in these

:41:20.:41:28.

Commonwealth Games. -- the ring. Good right hand over the top from

:41:29.:41:32.

Morgan once again, and that reverberated all the way around this

:41:33.:41:41.

arena and brought an audible ooh from the crowd, and the late

:41:42.:41:43.

movement of Benson is a little unsteady with just a minute to go in

:41:44.:41:47.

this round, and Morgan is encouraged, waging war, targeting

:41:48.:41:52.

the head and body of Benson. He has not got the strength to keep his man

:41:53.:41:56.

at bay, and the body shots are taking their toll, they have slowed

:41:57.:42:00.

him down. Movement is so important from Benson. Lewis Benson started

:42:01.:42:13.

effectively, petting and moving. He is back at long range. Ten seconds.

:42:14.:42:21.

This one-minute interval will be welcome respite for Lewis Benson to

:42:22.:42:30.

get his thoughts back together. He concludes that second round, he

:42:31.:42:34.

thinks he has done enough to take it. And this was how he didn't.

:42:35.:42:46.

Morgan, coming forward. -- that -- did it. He messes that with his

:42:47.:42:53.

right hand, and the left court Benson. When he is boxing at Grange,

:42:54.:43:01.

keeping straight, he knocks is much better. He is allowing his man too

:43:02.:43:10.

much on the inside. -- he knocks is much better. -- boxes. So, we have

:43:11.:43:23.

got parity after two rounds. One round each. Morgan is going to come

:43:24.:43:29.

in here like a steam train for this last round. The third and final

:43:30.:43:35.

round is underway. And this contest is for grabs. What style will

:43:36.:43:40.

prevail? The long-range sharpshooting of Lewis Benson or the

:43:41.:43:46.

front hooded aggression of Bowyn Morgan? Contrasting styles. This is

:43:47.:43:53.

where he got himself into trouble previously, touching the ropes.

:43:54.:44:03.

Lewis Benson has two very his movement, he must switch direction

:44:04.:44:08.

but stay in the centre and keep those punches straight. He gets

:44:09.:44:15.

caught out again. That low, left hand of Lewis Benson. And the

:44:16.:44:21.

punches from Bowyn Morgan are producing inside that reverberates

:44:22.:44:32.

around the ring. He is being put to the test during this third round.

:44:33.:44:36.

Just over one minute gone. Bowyn Morgan, unloading with heavy

:44:37.:44:44.

leather. Lewis Benson is struggling to establish his rhythm. This is

:44:45.:44:50.

better from Lewis Benson, straight shots, get the timing right, do not

:44:51.:44:56.

panic. That is a dangerous position. He has to move. We're just past the

:44:57.:45:02.

halfway stage of this third and final round. Lewis Benson trying to

:45:03.:45:09.

get back to long range. He dipped his knees slightly and went just

:45:10.:45:17.

above the belt line. Morgan, in possible to the chair. He is

:45:18.:45:30.

comparatively short armed. -- to deter. Good left hand again. His

:45:31.:45:36.

punching is having a significant effect. Morgan is less effective, he

:45:37.:45:47.

has to give those punches long and straight. -- keep those. This

:45:48.:45:56.

contest is still up for grabs. They break free of that clench. Morgan

:45:57.:46:04.

continuing to come forward. Inside the final 20 seconds. The

:46:05.:46:09.

continuing to come forward. Inside could well be determined in these

:46:10.:46:14.

closing moments. And again. He has gathered some momentum. He must keep

:46:15.:46:23.

his guard up. The final ten seconds. Lewis Benson has had a string of

:46:24.:46:30.

successful shots. Bowyn Morgan was less effective in the closing

:46:31.:46:33.

moments with his aggression. Morgan thinks he has done enough. How will

:46:34.:46:41.

those judges see this? It was even coming into the final round. Benson

:46:42.:46:47.

did better in the last round. In the last minute, he managed to box at

:46:48.:46:52.

Grange much better and he kept his man at range. -- at range. This is

:46:53.:47:07.

very close indeed. Would you appreciate someone going forward and

:47:08.:47:14.

looking to win on the front foot? Ladies and gentlemen, after three

:47:15.:47:24.

rounds, we have a split decision. The winner, in the red corner... And

:47:25.:47:38.

your appreciation for Lewis Benson, representing Scotland. Lewis Benson

:47:39.:47:44.

acknowledging the cry, his Commonwealth Games tournament comes

:47:45.:47:48.

to an end, courtesy of the man who is holding the ropes. Bowyn Morgan,

:47:49.:47:54.

the winner honest but decision. Two of the judges favoured his style. It

:47:55.:48:01.

was that type of contest. One round each going into the final round. Nip

:48:02.:48:06.

and tuck final round. That is just how close it was. Disappointment for

:48:07.:48:18.

the home interest in the boxing. These are the Commonwealth Games

:48:19.:48:21.

where you can take your pick as to what you watch in terms of all the

:48:22.:48:25.

various sports on offer. If you switch across to BBC One, this is

:48:26.:48:31.

what they have. The badminton. Gary, Hazel and Clare are broadcasting

:48:32.:48:37.

from that building. It does look like an overgrown sauna! They are at

:48:38.:48:42.

the top of a tower for the output from BBC One. On the Red Button you

:48:43.:48:49.

can get the boxing for the best part of day number two. We saw there was

:48:50.:48:54.

Benson coming second in his contest and he is from Edinburgh. Compared

:48:55.:48:59.

to some of the other athletes who are here at Glasgow, he had to make

:49:00.:49:04.

a relatively short journey. But spare a thought for the shooters and

:49:05.:49:09.

athletes who have come from the tiny Pacific island of St Helena.

:49:10.:49:14.

Katherine Grainger went to meet them.

:49:15.:49:23.

I am at Glasgow airport for one of the busiest days for Commonwealth

:49:24.:49:30.

Games arrivals. I will meet one very special team. We leave on the 11th

:49:31.:49:44.

of July, we get to Cape Town on the 16th of July and we fly from Cape

:49:45.:49:48.

Town to Amsterdam and then Glasgow. This is the first trip? No, I have

:49:49.:50:22.

been away some other times, twice to the previous games. We had a good

:50:23.:50:37.

night last night. We had a couple of games. Where are you going tonight?

:50:38.:51:08.

The cocktail party! NAFU hours we will be docking in Cape Town so we

:51:09.:51:13.

will see in Glasgow in a couple of days. -- in a few hours. Fellow!

:51:14.:51:26.

Welcome to Scotland! -- hello. How was the journey? You are smiling!

:51:27.:51:32.

Are you excited? Ten days to get here and the competition starts?

:51:33.:51:39.

Shooting is on the 25th of July. Good luck with everything. And enjoy

:51:40.:51:47.

your time in Scotland. The Commonwealth Games only lasts 11

:51:48.:51:51.

days so they are going to spend almost twice as long getting here

:51:52.:51:55.

and getting back home. If they can get the competition right, it is all

:51:56.:52:02.

worth it. Good to see them here safely and we

:52:03.:52:07.

wish them well. There are competitions going on outside of

:52:08.:52:12.

Glasgow and the shooting around to some of those others. -- we are

:52:13.:52:19.

shooting. At Carnoustie, at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre, that

:52:20.:52:23.

is where the shooting competition has been taking place. Skeet started

:52:24.:52:40.

today. Here is a guide. Shot gun requires competitors to fire at

:52:41.:52:45.

moving targets, desks which are made of pitch and truck. These are

:52:46.:52:48.

launched into the air in different directions from the trap. The

:52:49.:52:53.

targets are released on or after the command from the shooter. The head

:52:54.:52:57.

is declared with at least one visible piece of clay is seen to

:52:58.:53:03.

fall. The targets or 11 centimetres in diameter and a travel at a speed

:53:04.:53:08.

of 60 mph. In all shotgun events the shooter must be standing with both

:53:09.:53:12.

hands supporting the gun. In Glasgow there are three separate shotgun

:53:13.:53:17.

events. Skeet, trap and double trap. In skeet, one or two different clays

:53:18.:53:23.

are launched a different heights. One just over three metres and the

:53:24.:53:27.

other over one metre. Any trap, shooters fire at single ones lost

:53:28.:53:31.

from 50 metres in front of them. They get to shots per target in

:53:32.:53:36.

qualification but only one of them in the final. In the double trap,

:53:37.:53:42.

they stand 50 metres away while two are launched simultaneously. The

:53:43.:53:46.

shooters have one shot at each clay. In all events, the top six from the

:53:47.:53:50.

qualification and fans to the semifinals. -- advance. Those are

:53:51.:53:58.

the rules but in terms of the venue, it is at Carnoustie. At the Barry

:53:59.:54:04.

Buddon Shooting Centre. And we can join David Currie. All eyes today or

:54:05.:54:12.

on the England teenage sensation and Young personality of the year

:54:13.:54:16.

winner, Amber Hill. It has been eventful for her? Yes, you could say

:54:17.:54:27.

that. She has been eliminated from the competition in dramatic

:54:28.:54:30.

circumstances. Nine shooters in the qualifying round go down to six of

:54:31.:54:35.

them in the semifinal and she had a shoot out which involved her fellow

:54:36.:54:41.

competitor from England, Sarah Gray. At that stage, Amber Hill, the world

:54:42.:54:44.

record-holder, was eliminated and out of the competition. Tell us who

:54:45.:54:55.

actually made it through. Sarah Gray from England is there and the only

:54:56.:54:59.

other British shooter is Elena Allen from Wales. She is Russian born. A

:55:00.:55:05.

world bronze medallist and tipped by many to pick up a medal. Perhaps

:55:06.:55:09.

bronze or silver but possibly even gold.

:55:10.:55:10.

many to pick up a medal. Perhaps bronze or silver And one of the big

:55:11.:55:14.

personalities in the world of target shooting. Laura and Mark, three-time

:55:15.:55:21.

gold medallist. If you Google her, the eyes will pop from your head!

:55:22.:55:36.

The final is just about to get underway. I will put my earplugs in

:55:37.:55:44.

if I can find them and leave you in the good hands of our commentator

:55:45.:55:55.

Alex Smith. The semifinal and final is about to get underway but let me

:55:56.:55:59.

introduced you to the six semifinalists. First of all, from

:56:00.:56:05.

Wales, a warm welcome to Elena Allen.

:56:06.:56:14.

She earned her position in these E final in a shoot off. From Cyprus,

:56:15.:56:37.

Andri Eleftheriou. From Australia, Lauryn Mark.

:56:38.:56:43.

And also representing Australia, Laura Coles. She was the top

:56:44.:56:55.

qualifier. From India, are teasing row. -- are teasing row.

:56:56.:57:03.

The referee in charge is John McIntyre.

:57:04.:57:24.

Time for the action to get underway. The formalities are out of

:57:25.:57:31.

the way and we are preparing for the competition to commence. They will

:57:32.:57:41.

be doing so on station three. They will use station three, four and

:57:42.:57:47.

five and then back to station for. There will be two doubles from each

:57:48.:57:53.

station. The high house first and then the low house. In the second

:57:54.:57:59.

double, the low house first and then the high house. It is a repeat of

:58:00.:58:05.

that sequence on all four stations. Elena Allen gets down with one

:58:06.:58:11.

double out of the way, two from two. This is a total out of 16, remember.

:58:12.:58:20.

Now for the low house. And it is a no target as only one appeared. That

:58:21.:58:25.

sometimes occurs. These are special flash targets containing and a

:58:26.:58:31.

luminous pink powder that makes it easier to see the break. So she now

:58:32.:58:43.

has four from four. Sarah Gray now, she got into this through a shoot

:58:44.:58:53.

off. High house first. And comfortably takes that first pair.

:58:54.:59:00.

Very comfortable indeed. Now for the second double. This time the low

:59:01.:59:13.

house target first. They was a tiny puff of dust on that but it has been

:59:14.:59:20.

given as a lost bird soap she is three from four. Andri Eleftheriou

:59:21.:59:34.

now from Cyprus. Two from two. The second double as she turns to the

:59:35.:59:41.

low house target which has to be shot first.

:59:42.:59:47.

And she does so, so four from four. Now to Lauryn Mark of Australia.

:59:48.:00:04.

There is a delay of anything to three seconds after the call, around

:00:05.:00:20.

the lake, the computer selects the time interval. -- a random delay.

:00:21.:00:37.

And a clean double again. Four from four, very tight at this stage of

:00:38.:00:43.

this semifinal. Laura Coles was the highest placed qualifier but that

:00:44.:00:49.

reflects nothing in the order. The scores are back to zero now.

:00:50.:00:57.

The glasses being used here are to highlight the target against the

:00:58.:01:08.

background, the tint highlights the luminescent orange, particularly

:01:09.:01:17.

against a green background. Just takes it but that is enough so four

:01:18.:01:25.

from four. Now Arti Singh Rao from India. The last to test this

:01:26.:01:32.

station. Two cartridges income gun closed,

:01:33.:01:44.

ready to call. Four from four for Arti Singh Rao as

:01:45.:02:01.

well and now they move to station for and the same sequence again.

:02:02.:02:06.

There we have the rankings. All even apart from Sarah Gray who is just

:02:07.:02:16.

one target behind. It is the same sequence again, two doubles, high

:02:17.:02:28.

house first. Elena Allen of Wales. Now another double.

:02:29.:02:41.

And one bird down. She now has seven out of a possible eight as Sarah

:02:42.:02:50.

Gray takes the stand. Now the second double four Sarah,

:02:51.:03:02.

from station four. Four from four on that station.

:03:03.:03:38.

Andri Eleftheriou now. First double dispatched, now for the second. The

:03:39.:03:47.

low house first and she turns to see that exit first and then had to turn

:03:48.:03:56.

to face the high house target. And puts one down. Three from four on

:03:57.:04:05.

that station for her. Now Lauryn Mark. The first of her two doubles

:04:06.:04:16.

on station four. She is wearing a lighter shade of glasses than the

:04:17.:04:24.

other shooters. The first of that double put down. Now the second

:04:25.:04:33.

double, this time turning to the low house first.

:04:34.:04:48.

Another single bird down so that has been an expensive station, two

:04:49.:04:57.

targets lost. Now Laura Coles, also from Australia. The first of her

:04:58.:05:05.

doubles. Looking towards the high house. And she misses the first

:05:06.:05:14.

target. There is enormous pressure in a competition of this standing.

:05:15.:05:19.

Many competitors say that this is tougher than World Cups and World

:05:20.:05:23.

Championships, there is great expectation, the pressure of

:05:24.:05:28.

competition really builds. They have shot these targets thousands of

:05:29.:05:34.

times before. And she makes it clean on that last double. The nerves

:05:35.:05:44.

probably impacting on everyone so far with those missed targets.

:05:45.:05:55.

Arti Singh Rao now facing her second double on station four, she has not

:05:56.:06:05.

dropped a target yet in this competition. As she does that time,

:06:06.:06:14.

just let's one go. The field now is pretty well even with just Lauryn

:06:15.:06:24.

Mark one target behind. The rest of the field locked even. Now to

:06:25.:06:29.

station number five and again it is two doubles with the high house

:06:30.:06:32.

target first. Now for the high house to target to

:06:33.:06:45.

be the first of this double. And Elena Allen puts down one, her

:06:46.:07:03.

second lower case miss of this semifinal. Sarah Gray now. Low house

:07:04.:07:08.

target first. And she puts down one. Now for the second double. She

:07:09.:07:24.

cleans up that double. Now the first 44 Andri Eleftheriou.

:07:25.:07:55.

-- the first double four Andri Eleftheriou.

:07:56.:08:04.

And successfully cleans up the second double. Lauryn Mark now.

:08:05.:08:32.

And she puts down the high house target. Now in this double, facing

:08:33.:08:44.

the high house first. And she misses the high so that has

:08:45.:08:53.

been an expensive round, two down. Laura Coles. As we approach the

:08:54.:09:03.

three quarters mark. Laura Coles makes no mistake with

:09:04.:09:26.

the low house double, now for the double with the high house target

:09:27.:09:28.

first. And another clean two. Now for Arti

:09:29.:09:39.

Singh Rao. And she drops the second of that

:09:40.:10:06.

pair. And another one down. That is what

:10:07.:10:32.

the pressure cooker of the semifinal does. Onto the four targets. We just

:10:33.:10:56.

have two from 11. This is Elena Allen from Wales. She drops one.

:10:57.:11:17.

Makes sure of that pair. That takes her total out of the 16 to 13. The

:11:18.:11:32.

16 to 13. 13 from 16. Now from England, Sarah Gray. She drops one.

:11:33.:11:51.

She needs to claim the stubble. -- this double. And she does. Also 13

:11:52.:12:07.

from 16 for Sarah Gray. Now Andri Eleftheriou from Cyprus. Two doubles

:12:08.:12:20.

from this station. High first. And that is a double loss. That will

:12:21.:12:28.

weigh heavily on the result. Now she has a second double to go but that

:12:29.:12:36.

has been a very expensive miss for her. It will bring her back to the

:12:37.:12:49.

pack. And she drops another. This is what the pressure of games

:12:50.:12:57.

competition does. 12 from 16 now. She was in a position to take the

:12:58.:13:12.

lead. Lauryn Mark of Australia. And she drops one. She throws the shell

:13:13.:13:17.

into the basket. After the second double. The best she can hope for,

:13:18.:13:31.

and that is a double miss, that is a huge disappointment for her. To

:13:32.:13:41.

finish the station. Just nine from 16 for Lauryn Mark. Now Laura Coles

:13:42.:13:55.

who was actually the top qualifier. Clean. This double would put her

:13:56.:14:16.

equal in the lead. If she takes the low house double, it would put her

:14:17.:14:27.

in the lead. And she does. 15 from 16 for Laura Coles. That is a big

:14:28.:14:38.

semifinal. Arti Singh Rao from India. She puts down one. Not happy

:14:39.:14:52.

with that result. Now the last double of the semifinal. APPLAUSE

:14:53.:15:08.

. And a convincing way to finish. And we will have a clear leader but

:15:09.:15:16.

there will be a shoot off to determine who will go into the medal

:15:17.:15:21.

matches. We have a tie that must be broken to determine who goes into

:15:22.:15:30.

the bronze medal match. Elena Allen and Sarah Gray are going to shoot

:15:31.:15:36.

off to determine who will join Laura Coles in that medal match. Laura

:15:37.:15:42.

Coles has to wait while the other placings are determined. Laura Coles

:15:43.:15:53.

is to target out in front at 15 out of 16. We have a shoot off to

:15:54.:15:58.

resolve who else can contest the medal matches. Sarah Gray. The shoot

:15:59.:16:18.

off will be between Arti Singh Rao of India and Andri Eleftheriou from

:16:19.:16:33.

Cyprus. We need to did determine who will go into the gold medal match

:16:34.:16:37.

and we need to eliminate one to go into the bronze medal match. The

:16:38.:16:54.

shoot off will be conducted in the same sequence as the semifinal. They

:16:55.:17:01.

will be starting on station three. It should get underway immediately.

:17:02.:17:11.

So the sequence of events is the shoot off to resolve the positions,

:17:12.:17:16.

then the bronze medal match, followed by the gold, silver medal

:17:17.:17:21.

match. They are going for 16 targets. The shoot of, however, is

:17:22.:17:25.

sudden death. The referee is conferring now. Now,

:17:26.:18:03.

this is the first time that these new rules have been shot at the

:18:04.:18:06.

Commonwealth Games. They were only brought into play at the end of the

:18:07.:18:11.

London Olympic Games. It is the first time that the qualification

:18:12.:18:17.

scores did not carry through as an aggregate into the finals. Up until

:18:18.:18:24.

the 1st of January 2013, it was an aggregate scoring system. The jury

:18:25.:18:30.

members are checking the scores to make sure that what you can see on

:18:31.:18:34.

the scoreboard tallies with what they have written down. Obviously,

:18:35.:18:40.

these are anxious moments for the athletes. They have to go through

:18:41.:18:48.

this procedure to make sure that both scorecards tally with the

:18:49.:18:54.

electronic scorecard. In a minute or two we should be back under way. The

:18:55.:18:59.

way it works, we will start from the bottom. The first shoot off will be

:19:00.:19:06.

between Arti Singh Rao of India and Andri Eleftheriou from Cyprus.

:19:07.:19:10.

Afterwards, we will have the play-off to decide who goes into the

:19:11.:19:14.

gold medal match. The first shoot off will be to determine who makes

:19:15.:19:27.

up the bronze medal shoot. There is a break in proceedings. Bringers of

:19:28.:19:36.

the speed exactly what happening in Carnoustie. -- bring us up to speed.

:19:37.:19:48.

We have one woman definitely through to the final, Laura Coles of

:19:49.:19:53.

Australia. She is into the gold medal match. We have a play-off to

:19:54.:20:02.

determine, I say a shoot off, to determine who goes into that

:20:03.:20:09.

gold-medal match. There will definitely be a British athlete in

:20:10.:20:14.

that. Before that, we have a shoot off between Andri Eleftheriou of

:20:15.:20:25.

Cyprus and arty rousing of India -- Arti Singh Rao from India. The crowd

:20:26.:20:34.

here has been treated to a real afternoon of drama and it is a

:20:35.:20:38.

learning experience for many of us here is a learning experience for

:20:39.:20:46.

many of us here this this is due to a change in rules this afternoon. It

:20:47.:20:56.

certainly is making it a much more interesting than when the scores

:20:57.:21:01.

were carried forward from qualification. At the semifinal

:21:02.:21:06.

stage, everything is turned back to zero and drama is practically

:21:07.:21:14.

unlimited. For now, David, thank you very much indeed. Let's head back to

:21:15.:21:24.

the commentary team. COMMENTATOR: It is in the order so Andri Eleftheriou

:21:25.:21:31.

will be the first to shoot. There will be a double shown and then they

:21:32.:21:44.

will be into it. No. No double show. No target. Nothing emerged. A system

:21:45.:21:56.

reset. Waiting now. For the machinery to be ready. The referee

:21:57.:22:03.

is saying yes. Again, Andri Eleftheriou on the mark, preparing

:22:04.:22:06.

for the first double of the shoot off. So, clean for Andri

:22:07.:22:29.

Eleftheriou. Now, Arti Singh Rao. So it is now another double. Another

:22:30.:22:35.

double, this time with the low house target first. So, the first to miss

:22:36.:22:49.

will be out after the scores at the double R added. So far, locked even.

:22:50.:23:10.

-- are added. And Arti Singh Rao has dropped both targets. That puts

:23:11.:23:14.

Andri Eleftheriou into the bronze medal match. Conrad chill a share

:23:15.:23:23.

and to Andri Eleftheriou who goes through to the bronze medal match.

:23:24.:23:30.

Now we have two determined which of Elena Allen and Sarah Gray will go

:23:31.:23:43.

into the gold-medal match. They have eight shots each. So, now, this

:23:44.:23:53.

determines who will go into the gold-medal match. Elena Allen will

:23:54.:24:07.

shoot first. Now, this shoot off is ready to get underway. So that

:24:08.:24:31.

double dispatched by Elena Allen of Wales. Now, Sarah Gray for her

:24:32.:24:46.

double. And that resolves the shoot off. It will be Elena Allen who goes

:24:47.:24:52.

into the gold-medal match against Laura Coles of Australia. And Sarah

:24:53.:24:59.

Gray will contest the bronze medal match. Please give your

:25:00.:25:13.

congratulations to Elena Allen for making it through to the gold-medal

:25:14.:25:19.

match. APPLAUSE Now the business end gets underway

:25:20.:25:20.

with the bronze medal match. The first match we will be seeing is

:25:21.:25:38.

the bronze medal match between Andri Eleftheriou and Sarah Gray to

:25:39.:25:42.

determine who wins the bronze medal and then it will be the gold medal

:25:43.:25:46.

match between Laura Coles and Elena Allen. The scores are reset to zero

:25:47.:25:55.

for these matches, there will be 16 targets. It is a repeat of the

:25:56.:26:04.

semifinal procedure, the same four stations, stations three, four and

:26:05.:26:10.

five and then back to station five again with a double on each station

:26:11.:26:13.

for both medal matches. The crowd getting enthusiastic and

:26:14.:26:43.

supporting the tension that has been in the air. It is a rum at the tents

:26:44.:26:48.

way of conducting this elimination for the medals -- it is a remarkably

:26:49.:26:56.

tense way. It is not unusual for the top

:26:57.:27:12.

qualifier not to make the medal match but in this case that is not

:27:13.:27:17.

what has happened. We have the top qualifier as the first into the gold

:27:18.:27:23.

medal match. The nerves and pressure often produce upsets. The squad

:27:24.:27:35.

sheet is being too prepared -- being prepared to mark the manual scores.

:27:36.:27:42.

It always takes a little bit of time to do the paperwork.

:27:43.:27:52.

So the competitors are ready. They will be shooting in bib order so

:27:53.:28:04.

Sarah Gray of England will shoot first followed by Andri Eleftheriou

:28:05.:28:05.

of Cyprus. Eleftheriou won the gold medal in

:28:06.:28:21.

the Skeet at the Melbourne games in 2006. She started shooting when she

:28:22.:28:33.

was just nine years of age. She is sitting on the bronze medal flag and

:28:34.:28:39.

that might be the position she ends up in.

:28:40.:28:54.

Sarah Gray readies herself for the first double of this bronze medal

:28:55.:29:06.

match. Onto the mark... Ready, high house target first. And she puts one

:29:07.:29:19.

down. Now the second double. This is 816 target competition again,

:29:20.:29:27.

starting from zero. -- a 16 target competition. And a successful double

:29:28.:29:40.

so three from four for Sarah Gray. Now Andri Eleftheriou, her first

:29:41.:29:47.

double, high house target first. A clean double. Requires a mix of

:29:48.:29:55.

confidence and aggression. And she puts one down so they are

:29:56.:30:10.

locked even after station one, both one down. Moving on to station four.

:30:11.:30:12.

Again, two doubles here. And Sarah Gray drops that first

:30:13.:30:36.

target. She picks up the low house second. Now for the double with the

:30:37.:30:41.

low house first. And successfully dispatches that.

:30:42.:30:56.

Eleftheriou prepares to take the station. Ready for the first double

:30:57.:31:04.

with the high house target coming from her left, the targets do 100

:31:05.:31:12.

kilometres per hour. She makes it look easy. Incredible gun speed

:31:13.:31:21.

required to pick up that second target and get in front of it. The

:31:22.:31:27.

trigger needs to be pulled well ahead of the target as she drops the

:31:28.:31:34.

second of that double. They are still even, six from eight. Moving

:31:35.:31:39.

now on to station five. The double sequence changes slightly

:31:40.:31:52.

here with the low house target to be shot first.

:31:53.:31:59.

Sarah Gray dispatches that double, now for the second.

:32:00.:32:04.

And that is a double loss, that is expensive. Eight from 12 with four

:32:05.:32:27.

more to go for Sarah Gray. Eleftheriou, two down. And she drops

:32:28.:32:41.

another to make it three down. She needs to be clean on this double to

:32:42.:32:43.

stay ahead of Sarah Gray. Which she does. That moves her to a

:32:44.:33:00.

one target lead going into the final four targets on station four. So

:33:01.:33:10.

this is the last Station, the last four targets of this bronze medal

:33:11.:33:17.

match, the first medal match of the shooting at the Commonwealth Games.

:33:18.:33:25.

She snaps up that first double. Now the last double of the contest with

:33:26.:33:28.

the low house target first. And she does. Taking her to 12 from

:33:29.:33:51.

16. Now Eleftheriou to see if she can retain her lead and take the

:33:52.:33:55.

bronze medal. Four targets remaining. First double dispatched

:33:56.:34:02.

and now just two targets to go. She needs to shoot both to get the medal

:34:03.:34:11.

or they will be able shoot-off. -- there will be. And she does so the

:34:12.:34:16.

bronze medal goes to Andri Eleftheriou of Cyprus. Eight tenths.

:34:17.:34:24.

It was a tense battle with Sarah Gray.

:34:25.:34:32.

Eleftheriou, a big relief now that the competition is over, are huge

:34:33.:34:43.

amount of pressure out there. There she is, she is at last allowed to

:34:44.:34:55.

relax after a tense day. Now for the gold medal match, the battle to

:34:56.:35:04.

determine gold and silver. Between Elena Allen of Wales and Laura Coles

:35:05.:35:15.

of Australia. They will shoot in the order of their bib.

:35:16.:35:32.

All is set now for the gold medal match.

:35:33.:35:51.

And no mistake. A good start for her. Two from two for Elena Allen.

:35:52.:36:09.

And drops the high house target of that pair so she is now one down,

:36:10.:36:25.

three from four. Laura Coles now for her first four targets of this gold

:36:26.:36:27.

medal match. Confident precision. Now the second

:36:28.:36:34.

double. Laura Coles. As we move on to

:36:35.:37:08.

station three and the beautiful blue skies of earlier today are beginning

:37:09.:37:12.

to get overtaken by some fog rolling in from the North Sea, the light is

:37:13.:37:24.

dulling here slightly. Elena Allen cleans up the first double on this

:37:25.:37:28.

station and now another with the low house target to be shot first.

:37:29.:37:33.

station and now another with the low has dulled significantly here in

:37:34.:37:35.

station and now another with the low last few minutes with the fog. She

:37:36.:37:41.

drops the last of that double as well, her second target lost. Now

:37:42.:37:43.

Laura Coles. Those losses can give confidence to

:37:44.:37:56.

a competitor but it can also add further to the pressure. Very

:37:57.:38:05.

confident double from Laura Coles. She has not missed a target yet in

:38:06.:38:09.

this round. Six from six. And another clean double. Eight from

:38:10.:38:29.

eight from Laura Coles at halfway. Eight targets to go as they move to

:38:30.:38:34.

station number five where they shoot another double but this time the

:38:35.:38:40.

first one is a low house target. Elena Allen of Wales, two targets

:38:41.:38:50.

behind Laura Coles. And cleans up that double. Now for the second

:38:51.:39:05.

double on station five. And she is clean on that station. That gives

:39:06.:39:15.

her ten from 12. Laura Coles now, can she retain her lead? She has at

:39:16.:39:19.

two target advantage. Very fast and confident from Laura

:39:20.:39:34.

Coles as the confidence and aggression seems to be building in

:39:35.:39:40.

her now, her speed is increasing. She is obviously seeing the targets

:39:41.:39:43.

extremely confidently. And she puts one down so she still

:39:44.:39:57.

retains a lead of one target at the three quarters mark. This is station

:39:58.:40:10.

for. The last four targets of this medal match. A perfect 44 Elena

:40:11.:40:38.

Allen. And she drops one to move just to targets down. Laura Coles

:40:39.:40:48.

has the pressure on her now. She has two shoot two of these to be level

:40:49.:41:05.

with Elena Allen. So, Laura now has two get one of these to draw even.

:41:06.:41:15.

Two to win it. She has to get both to win it. And she drops one. No!

:41:16.:41:29.

She has won it outright. 14 from 16 for Coles. One target clear of Elena

:41:30.:41:39.

Allen. Laura Coles of Australia with the gold medal. Elena Allen from

:41:40.:41:42.

Wales with the silver medal. The end of a very long day of intense

:41:43.:41:47.

competition. On graduations all-round. -- congratulations all

:41:48.:42:16.

round. I am joined by a lady who narrowly missed out on bronze in the

:42:17.:42:20.

shoot off. Sarah Gray, commiserations. I have had a

:42:21.:42:28.

brilliant day, my first Commonwealth Games. It was tragic but I enjoyed

:42:29.:42:33.

every minute of it. I thought I was going strong, made a couple of

:42:34.:42:38.

mistakes but I thought I had a pretty good final. It is all about

:42:39.:42:45.

minor details. What mistakes did you make? It is getting used to shooting

:42:46.:42:50.

under this much pressure. I am relatively new to it. I dropped one

:42:51.:42:54.

that I wouldn't have normally but I am working on it and it is getting

:42:55.:43:01.

better. Are you talking about the pressure of the packed gallery? It

:43:02.:43:04.

is completely not what we are used to so it takes you a bit getting

:43:05.:43:11.

used to it. It was looking as though it could be a British one and two at

:43:12.:43:16.

one stage. Elena Allen got into the final and it looked like you could

:43:17.:43:21.

be fighting it out for gold. In the end, Laura Coles won it in fantastic

:43:22.:43:27.

fashion. She has had the most amazing day. She hit the biggest

:43:28.:43:33.

fall in qualification and she has an amazing final and she thoroughly

:43:34.:43:37.

deserves the gold. Congratulations on your performance in your first

:43:38.:43:41.

ever Commonwealth Games and commiserations on just missing out

:43:42.:43:46.

on that bronze medal. Now, we have with others Elena Allen.

:43:47.:43:50.

Congratulations on your silver medal. Again, such drama going down

:43:51.:43:56.

to a shoot out at the end. Are you disappointed to miss out on gold? I

:43:57.:44:03.

am delighted to have made it into the gold-medal match. Yes,

:44:04.:44:08.

disappointed to have missed that by one target but a medal is a medal.

:44:09.:44:12.

If you get into the bronze medal match, one person is left with

:44:13.:44:19.

nothing, so at least I have got a medal. I missed by one target. What

:44:20.:44:27.

went wrong? Is it inevitable that you are not going to hit them all?

:44:28.:44:33.

Some days, you do hit them all, it is just life. Thank you very much

:44:34.:44:38.

indeed and congratulations on your silver medal. We almost had a first

:44:39.:44:44.

gold medal for Wales but Elena Allen seems pretty pleased with that first

:44:45.:44:53.

silver medal. Thanks very much. Silver medal for Elena Allen. Well

:44:54.:45:01.

done to her. Let's pay our second visit to the SEC C. Another of the

:45:02.:45:06.

boxing preliminaries. Nothing like the drama of two superheavy waits

:45:07.:45:15.

slugging it out. -- to super heavyweight. He has just realised

:45:16.:45:22.

that he is on TV. Let's find out more from Joe. He has been taken to

:45:23.:45:29.

the ring against Keddy Agnes from the Seychelles. COMMENTATOR: You can

:45:30.:45:53.

just see the contrast in physique. The man from England towering over

:45:54.:45:58.

the man from the Seychelles and that is Keddy Agnes, 28 years of age. If

:45:59.:46:05.

there is a weakness for Joe Joyce it is that occasionally he can beat

:46:06.:46:13.

court cold. In a semifinal at the Olympic Games, there was a problem

:46:14.:46:17.

getting him to the ring. He was stopped in the opening round. In the

:46:18.:46:23.

World Championships at Kazakhstan last year, the same fate befell him

:46:24.:46:29.

again. If he gets through the early stages and warms up and finds his

:46:30.:46:35.

rhythm, he is a nightmare for any opponent to face. He is in terrific

:46:36.:46:41.

condition. He has an engine that really does have to be witnessed to

:46:42.:46:47.

be believed. He has got a terrific engine but in this opening round. He

:46:48.:46:57.

should be boxing more sensibly. He has taken a fewer risks. It would be

:46:58.:47:03.

advisable for Joe to punch straight. That was better, nice and long. Box

:47:04.:47:11.

at range. Don't take risks on the inside. These are bent arm shots

:47:12.:47:17.

coming from Agnes. You have two docks at long range from early on

:47:18.:47:25.

and do not take any risks. A considerable advantageous in terms

:47:26.:47:31.

of height and reach but his brilliant left jab has not been

:47:32.:47:37.

witnessed so it has enabled his opponent Agnes to get into his own

:47:38.:47:46.

punching range. Just keep popping out the jab. Break down your

:47:47.:47:51.

opponent with the jab. Leave a big rap between you and your shorter

:47:52.:47:55.

opponent. These are the instructions for Joe Joyce. That is what they

:47:56.:48:02.

will have said in the corner. Just making the odd mistake. He is an con

:48:03.:48:07.

troll but every now and again Agnes lands those bent arm shots and that

:48:08.:48:13.

should not really be happening. Inside the final 30 seconds of the

:48:14.:48:19.

opening round. Agnes is continuing to throw caution to the wind with

:48:20.:48:24.

short arm punches. That was a good right hand to the body from Joe

:48:25.:48:29.

Joyce. Some of them are landing on target but if Joe Joyce gets at

:48:30.:48:34.

range, it is going to be very difficult for Agnes. Just to close

:48:35.:48:42.

the gap is difficult for Agnes. Joyce has won the round but he has

:48:43.:48:49.

been caught by the odd shot. Moments from this fella were OK. Generally,

:48:50.:48:57.

Joyce was in control but took the odd shot on the inside and he should

:48:58.:49:01.

not really be there on close quarters. He has to concentrate on

:49:02.:49:07.

long-range work. Agnes did really well. That is mainly because Joyce

:49:08.:49:12.

allowed his plan to close the gap. But Joyce won the round for me. All

:49:13.:49:21.

three judges in favour of the man representing England, Joe Joyce

:49:22.:49:24.

taking that round in unanimous fashion. His second applying the

:49:25.:49:40.

petroleum jelly. He was coach of the year past. He has very experienced

:49:41.:49:48.

coaches in his corner. At least he has got the opening round under his

:49:49.:49:52.

belt but there are still improvements to be made. Hard arcing

:49:53.:49:59.

punches being crashed home by Agnes in the early stages. Being warned

:50:00.:50:03.

for punching with the inside of the glove. Joe Joyce not establishing

:50:04.:50:10.

any length or distance with that terrific left jab that he possesses.

:50:11.:50:16.

Allowing Agnes to get into punching range and scoring with shots of his

:50:17.:50:25.

own. Despite being just 20 years of age, Agnes is an experienced boxer

:50:26.:50:33.

in international competitions. He has contested two World

:50:34.:50:37.

Championships, in Azerbaijan in 2011 and the next edition in Kazakhstan

:50:38.:50:42.

last year. The first was at 81 kilograms. In Kazakhstan he was a 91

:50:43.:50:50.

kilograms box. He has outgrown that weight limit and is now competing at

:50:51.:50:57.

super heavyweight. That is well blocked from Joyce. Agnes is trying

:50:58.:51:04.

to get through with the right hand. Joe, again, walking forward. As we

:51:05.:51:10.

say that, he should not be boxing there but he is getting shown good

:51:11.:51:16.

shots himself. He obviously fancies it. He has got a terrific engine,

:51:17.:51:23.

very strong indeed. Agnes lands the odd shot now and again which is

:51:24.:51:29.

getting the crowd excited. Every shot from Agnes landing with bad

:51:30.:51:34.

intentions and maximum power. He is letting them go from middle and

:51:35.:51:38.

short range. Swinging away with bent arms. There is not enough of them.

:51:39.:51:46.

He does not sustain the attacks. He goes back into his shell. Joe Joyce

:51:47.:51:56.

won't want any of those two include a Sunday punch that puts him in

:51:57.:52:02.

trouble. Joyce in control inside the final minute of the second round.

:52:03.:52:10.

The difference, Agnes is getting a little bit desperate. Joe Joyce is

:52:11.:52:15.

just warming up. He has boxed over five rounds and he is very fit for a

:52:16.:52:21.

super heavyweight. Agnes is now getting a bit desperate and tired.

:52:22.:52:30.

Very inaccurate with his work. Inside the final ten seconds. The

:52:31.:52:37.

way in which this contest has played out, the volume and quality has come

:52:38.:52:44.

from Joyce. Explosive burst of punches from Agnes. Some of which

:52:45.:52:50.

have found a way through the defence of Joe Joyce. But after two rounds,

:52:51.:52:57.

the man from England, he should have done enough to take both rounds.

:52:58.:53:06.

Agnes, the odd shot. Loopholes appearing in his guard. He gets

:53:07.:53:09.

caught with a terrific left hand from Joyce. He is two rounds up.

:53:10.:53:30.

Keeping very calm in his corner. Well, one of the judges are

:53:31.:53:35.

favouring the aggression of Agnes in that second round. Not unanimous

:53:36.:53:49.

fashion in favour of Joyce. The referee now happy. The third and

:53:50.:53:55.

final round begins in the men's super heavyweight division. Joe

:53:56.:54:06.

Joyce, in blue, the current bronze-medallist. In Azerbaijan, he

:54:07.:54:16.

was stopped cold in the first round by a big punching Algerian. He is

:54:17.:54:23.

starting to get into his groove. Could be more accurate with his jab

:54:24.:54:27.

but volume coming from him. The workrate. He has stepped it up.

:54:28.:54:34.

Joyce just continuing to push out left and right. The old 1-to

:54:35.:54:40.

combination. And old and trusted one. -- 1-2 combination. These shots

:54:41.:54:53.

from Joyce are taking the energy out of his opponent. Now he has got to

:54:54.:55:00.

bring the uppercut into play. He has softened up his opponent, measure

:55:01.:55:03.

the distance with the jab and a whip it up right through the middle. A

:55:04.:55:09.

feature of his boxing in World Series boxing, five rounds without a

:55:10.:55:15.

head guard, conditioning possessed by Joe Joyce. The workrate in rounds

:55:16.:55:21.

four and five would leave the opponent is reading, out of gas.

:55:22.:55:27.

Still coming on strong, testing out with left and right. He has only

:55:28.:55:32.

lost against the very best in World Series boxing. 13th ranked in the

:55:33.:55:41.

world at super heavyweight. Brings his championship credentials, a

:55:42.:55:46.

European Championship bronze. That gap in quality has been apparent in

:55:47.:55:50.

this opening contest in the super heavyweight division. He is just

:55:51.:56:00.

getting a little bit of relaxation in his arms and that promotes the

:56:01.:56:06.

speed. You cannot just keep walking around the ring with your hands held

:56:07.:56:15.

high, tight and high. Then your punches go slowly. Get relaxation

:56:16.:56:25.

back and it promotes the speed. Closing moments of this third and

:56:26.:56:32.

final round. He will want to emerge unscathed from a clash of heads or a

:56:33.:56:37.

stray elbow. Having increasing success now. This is the last role

:56:38.:56:42.

of the dice from Agnes. It hasn't been enough to put a dent into the

:56:43.:56:49.

man from Earls third amateur boxing club. It was like watching an older

:56:50.:57:00.

sibling give a younger one a hug after a forlorn attempt to run the

:57:01.:57:09.

other up. Tremendous. Joe Joyce could have gone another three or

:57:10.:57:12.

four rounds. Extremely fit guy. Worked very well indeed. That right

:57:13.:57:21.

uppercut was probably the shot of the round. A terrific punch. Will

:57:22.:57:36.

not be 100% happy, but nevertheless it is a win under his belt.

:57:37.:58:14.

APPLAUSE. Joe Joyce through to the second round of the heavyweight

:58:15.:58:19.

division. He will meet Scotland's Ross Henderson in what will be an

:58:20.:58:25.

intriguing rematch. Barely a flicker of emotion. Agnes outpointed in a

:58:26.:58:38.

significant fashion. He will take no further part. How hard is it

:58:39.:58:46.

fighting someone almost one foot shorter? It was quite hard,

:58:47.:58:56.

different style. You could not slip, keep them along, if they come

:58:57.:59:11.

in, bring it on. Richie Woodhall said he thought he would be happy,

:59:12.:59:17.

but only just. Very much, I started off OK, I got the win, building on

:59:18.:59:22.

the performance, getting better in each bout. That is what I plan on

:59:23.:59:27.

doing. Have you been studying any of the other fights today? What do you

:59:28.:59:33.

think about the strength of the competition? It is all right. It is

:59:34.:59:41.

good to box different boxes. Great weather, great

:59:42.:59:47.

start, congratulations, onto next round. Not quite the towering

:59:48.:59:56.

performance from Joyce. He goes on to face Ross Henderson and

:59:57.:00:02.

Scotland. That takes place on Tuesday. In case you were wondering

:00:03.:00:08.

why he got such a great ovation, it always helps when your dad is a

:00:09.:00:14.

proud Scot! We are entering the early evening of daily two of

:02:24.:02:26.

Glasgow 2014 at the Pacific Quays. Let's get to the netball, Scotland

:02:27.:03:27.

in hoping to improve their dramatic progress under the new coach. They

:03:28.:03:33.

are taking on St Lucia, already in the first quarter. Let's see if

:03:34.:03:37.

Scotland can get off to a good start.

:03:38.:03:48.

Just taking stock. St Lucia hit the front, 4-3.

:03:49.:04:05.

Good fly from Forbes. Reading the lofted ball across the circle.

:04:06.:04:22.

How is that? Cool and calm. Showing Maxwell.

:04:23.:04:33.

Donald being marked out of court. The captain adding one more. She saw

:04:34.:05:02.

it coming. Fast on the transition, Scotland, good holding

:05:03.:05:08.

it coming. Fast on the transition, position by Gallagher. You heard the

:05:09.:05:20.

groans from the crowd, she has a go. Lizzie MacDonald trying to convince

:05:21.:05:37.

the umpire it is a Scottish ball. Great contests, Samantha Murphy.

:05:38.:05:47.

Samantha Murphy one of the young up-and-coming stars of Scottish

:05:48.:05:51.

netball, working incredible hard in the world youth level last year. She

:05:52.:06:00.

mentions the New Zealand player as her role model. A challenge for the

:06:01.:06:08.

Scottish defence, Maxwell at: Attack, and Lawrenson, St Lucia, the

:06:09.:06:15.

aerial ball, good ball placement affecting them. Smart work. Could

:06:16.:06:27.

not finish it, Gallagher. She let the ball do the walking. That goes

:06:28.:06:41.

through the hands of Maxwell. Connell looking to place the ball to

:06:42.:06:46.

the shooter, great positioning by the St Lucia circle the fence. --

:06:47.:06:51.

defence. Certainly Connell and Macdonald have

:06:52.:07:03.

played together for more than one decade. For Scotland, a force to be

:07:04.:07:09.

reckoned with when they are both on form. Am I right in saying,

:07:10.:07:16.

MacDonald has 114 tests? Extraordinary.

:07:17.:07:31.

Great ball placement from the youngster, Samantha Murphy. Finding

:07:32.:07:42.

Gallagher, does not miss this time. I think time is called, by Samantha

:07:43.:07:49.

Murphy, the centre for Scotland. Great slow motion. That has drawn

:07:50.:08:03.

Scotland level, 6-6 will -- 6-6. Almost halfway through this first

:08:04.:08:10.

water. Eight opportunities for Scotland, scoring six of those.

:08:11.:08:18.

Murphy on the floor, receiving attention to her leg. Connie Francis

:08:19.:08:29.

making the most of the break to go through a few things with her

:08:30.:08:42.

players. Justin, the goal defence. Let's see if we can catch sight of

:08:43.:08:47.

what happened with Murphy? Hard landing. Right on her knees. She

:08:48.:08:55.

bounces up, but perhaps, halfway through the first quarter, not a bad

:08:56.:09:01.

time to regroup. Possibly a good time for Scotland to rethink, set

:09:02.:09:10.

the game plan. A lot of talking from Gail Perrotta, that is a message

:09:11.:09:17.

going through to the defensive pairing, hold strong.

:09:18.:09:26.

There is a bandage on the knee of Samantha Murphy. She is back with

:09:27.:09:33.

the ball, we resume. Chorizo -- Teresa Prints. Great

:09:34.:09:59.

play, citing that ball early. A good short game being played through to

:10:00.:10:04.

the circle edge by St Lucia. Just readjusting. Watch the dance there.

:10:05.:10:37.

That was a volleyball spiked. -- spike. Murphy with an awful lot of

:10:38.:10:44.

space in the attacking third. Not being tracked. Good response by

:10:45.:10:50.

Gallagher. Scotland hit the front. 7-6. Just under six minutes

:10:51.:11:05.

remaining in the first quarter. Roxanne Snyder goes high to Maxwell.

:11:06.:11:23.

Judie Mathurin is in effect of everything. Scotland need to see

:11:24.:11:31.

where she is, her movements. But the aerial ball through to Lawrenson.

:11:32.:12:23.

Nice build-up, Scotland. Sweet shot from Lynsey Gallagher. Straightaway,

:12:24.:12:59.

they give up the position and now it has gone back the other way. This is

:13:00.:13:07.

fast and furious, this game. Lots of short play. Scotland really working

:13:08.:13:16.

hard, supporting each other but lots of the double play, characteristic

:13:17.:13:23.

New Zealand style coming through from the mid-court. Scotland

:13:24.:13:39.

straightaway wingback possession. Gail Parata is looking calm. Replay

:13:40.:13:46.

of the ball, you cannot have possession of the ball, drop it and

:13:47.:13:54.

then pick it up and play again. Sometimes open to interpretation.

:13:55.:14:10.

The crowd are involved. Rachel Forbes supporting the play well.

:14:11.:14:16.

Good attacking play, using the whip around the circle. Leslie Donald

:14:17.:14:22.

using Samantha Murphy around the circle. Leslie Donald

:14:23.:14:29.

way to the post. Clever play by Lesley MacDonald. Now, scoring

:14:30.:14:47.

quickly and freely. Thumbs up to Leslie Donald. St Lucia desperately

:14:48.:14:52.

need to score one for themselves here. Roxanne Snyder... Maxwell.

:14:53.:15:11.

Ouch, into the post. It is what St Lucia needed. Good defence by St

:15:12.:15:26.

Lucia. That was outstanding by Saphia William. She was just about

:15:27.:15:29.

in the lap of the officials. Just the body alignment. Hayley

:15:30.:16:01.

Mulheron. Costly error. Fabulous ball. That is a good goal for

:16:02.:16:18.

Scotland. Claire Brownie through like a rocket. She was caught as she

:16:19.:16:24.

came through. St Lucia will be aware of the clock situation. Inaccurate

:16:25.:16:33.

feed. Hopefully somebody has their eye on the clock but Scotland.

:16:34.:16:40.

Lesley MacDonald gets the gold. Terrific awareness. Even the

:16:41.:16:50.

defensive players but Scotland were wanting to get it in and get it in

:16:51.:16:56.

now. It was tight at the beginning but then Scotland saddled and have

:16:57.:17:02.

put in some very nice play. -- settled. Just about mixing up the

:17:03.:17:11.

pace and Scotland have started to do that. Interesting attempts at goal.

:17:12.:17:16.

Real difference in the last few minutes. Look at the deflections for

:17:17.:17:26.

Scotland. Ten as opposed to zero, but St Lucia. Little bit of work to

:17:27.:17:30.

do. Connie Francis during this interval. You can see with the tally

:17:31.:17:45.

of turnovers, towing and throwing. Impressive start by this youngster,

:17:46.:17:49.

Lynsey Gallagher. No fear, putting herself out there. Linking well with

:17:50.:17:56.

Linsey Macdonald. This would still be a threat to any defender. --

:17:57.:18:05.

Lesley MacDonald. I think that was probably one of the best centre past

:18:06.:18:12.

set-ups by Scotland. They got their setup back and then through to

:18:13.:18:16.

Lynsey Gallagher under the post. Gail Parata having plenty to say.

:18:17.:18:48.

She will be pretty pleased at the quarter break. Connie Francis

:18:49.:18:58.

getting her players in close around her. They have had patches where St

:18:59.:19:08.

Lucia have looked good. But Scotland look fast. Absolutely. It is the

:19:09.:19:16.

aerial ball St Lucia are putting in that are affecting Rachel Forbes and

:19:17.:19:29.

Hayley Mulheron. I am sure they will try to stop more of that feed coming

:19:30.:19:39.

through. Great start I Scotland. Treasure on them with the home crowd

:19:40.:19:41.

but they did find their form and structure during the last few

:19:42.:19:46.

minutes of that quarter. Scotland to restart the match. It is the start

:19:47.:19:47.

of the second quarter. There is the new shooter for St

:19:48.:20:18.

Lucia, I am a hip alike. I am surprised she has taken Laurencin

:20:19.:20:22.

art. Yes, she was a threat. Rachel brownie again, supporting.

:20:23.:20:59.

Karin Connell is the main feeder, she is putting good balls through to

:21:00.:21:04.

Lynsey Gallagher. Denise Childs now at centre for St Lucia. Hippolyte

:21:05.:21:11.

had nowhere to go. Maxwell is there to tidy.

:21:12.:21:37.

16-10, Scotland lead. Tricky little bounce pass. Great turn of speed and

:21:38.:21:50.

change of direction by Lynsey Gallagher. Over committing the

:21:51.:21:53.

defender. The shootings switched from Scotland. Lynsey Gallagher and

:21:54.:22:09.

Lesley MacDonald swapping places. This is worse Scotland are

:22:10.:22:15.

dangerous. Unable to get any further. Obstruction for Denise

:22:16.:22:27.

Childs. Judy maturing now on at goalkeeper the St Lucia. Scotland

:22:28.:22:43.

have another. 18-10. Karin Connell lost sight of the ball. A let off St

:22:44.:22:52.

Lucia. Just Zebo mid-court zone, Scotland working hard in this area.

:22:53.:22:58.

St Lucia getting the breakthrough. That was clever from Hippolyte. She

:22:59.:23:14.

dropped the ball down to Maxwell and then almost made a barrier. St Lucia

:23:15.:23:19.

on the board. Just taking a little bit more time

:23:20.:23:38.

to look at options, but too many blue dresses at that point. St Lucia

:23:39.:23:43.

just need to look at their ball side work if they are offering. It wasn't

:23:44.:23:51.

a bad idea, just did not quite come off. What can St Lucia do? There

:23:52.:23:57.

will not want Scotland to get away on them. -- they. That is better

:23:58.:24:09.

play. Not able to be finished by Maxwell. Just settling for that

:24:10.:24:24.

shot. Fast transition by Scotland. Lynsey Gallagher, on the other

:24:25.:24:31.

hand, accurate. 19 - 11, Scotland over St Lucia. Fair enough, Denise

:24:32.:24:41.

Charles told to tidy up. Cannot just knock the ball out player's hands.

:24:42.:24:45.

As much as you would like to! Murphy just supporting well. Strong

:24:46.:25:09.

base on the circle edge, up against Denise Charles.

:25:10.:25:14.

Such a great understanding between Karin Connell and Leslie map Donald.

:25:15.:25:26.

Some good/ Gera in the attacking unit -- good structure in the

:25:27.:25:29.

attacking unit for Scotland. Rachel Forbes, in a great position

:25:30.:26:01.

for the rebound. Awkward for Hayley Mulheron. Very patriotic, blue

:26:02.:26:05.

fingernails. That is better from Maxwell. Hefty

:26:06.:26:25.

looking bandage on her right leg. Just looks to be struggling slightly

:26:26.:26:31.

as she was working the high load before she takes a shot. Fatigue,

:26:32.:26:41.

she needs to start to look at dropping back slightly and hopefully

:26:42.:26:47.

Denise Charles and Roxanne Snyder will bring the ball through.

:26:48.:26:59.

Now we have time called. Round about the halfway mark in this quarter,

:27:00.:27:13.

and I wonder if this is tactical. We saw yesterday, I would not say they

:27:14.:27:17.

were preordained, but they always seem to happen around halfway full

:27:18.:27:24.

up to be fair, that is a pretty big knee brace. She's clutching her

:27:25.:27:32.

wrist, as well. Scotland are really carrying on where they left off in

:27:33.:27:37.

the first quarter, proving a real handful for St Lucia. Teresa Prince

:27:38.:28:05.

carrying on. Scotland will be pleased with a lot of airplay,

:28:06.:28:11.

coming from Karen Connell. You talked about the combination she has

:28:12.:28:18.

with her shooters. Linking with it Gallagher, a great threesome.

:28:19.:28:26.

Connell has the craft on the court, an intelligent player. Great in the

:28:27.:28:41.

World Youth Jumping ships. -- Championship.

:28:42.:28:48.

A great take. There is the problem. A lot of the time Murphy finds

:28:49.:29:17.

herself three on the circle edge. It must be something to address by

:29:18.:29:21.

Connie Francis and the St Lucia team. Just limited options

:29:22.:29:33.

available. Scotland picking up possession.

:29:34.:29:52.

23-13, opening up a ten goal lead. We see her leaving the court.

:29:53.:30:18.

Getting quite a whack on the hand. St Lucia trailing, they have a

:30:19.:30:22.

chance. Again, the same defensive pressure. Maxwell coming up to

:30:23.:30:33.

assist. A great tussle between Maxwell and Amal Mall.

:30:34.:30:46.

assist. A great tussle between relatively quick goals for St Lucia.

:30:47.:30:48.

assist. A great tussle between He get the feeling the attacking

:30:49.:30:53.

pair are a lot more comfortable placing it into space. Good reward,

:30:54.:30:56.

Scottish ball. Connell, another one of those circle

:30:57.:31:10.

feeds. They are enjoying themselves, the

:31:11.:31:30.

Scottish fans, why not? Their team is leading, just five minutes left

:31:31.:31:38.

in the first half. There ever Commonwealth Games netball match for

:31:39.:31:47.

Scotland. -- it is their first ever. Again, good work by Connell. Good

:31:48.:31:58.

shooting stats for Scotland, 12 from 15 for Gallagher, 13 from 15 for

:31:59.:32:08.

McDonald's. Not bad at the other end either. -- MacDonald.

:32:09.:32:18.

Trapping the ball. That is awkward for MacDonald, has a good laugh. A

:32:19.:32:45.

bit of moisture on the court. Just have a look at this. She had a bit

:32:46.:32:58.

of help. Almost characterised the sevens competition. Good defence by

:32:59.:33:13.

Scotland. Communicating well. Starting to see more of Heron. A

:33:14.:33:37.

female -- Hayley Mulharen has impressed me.

:33:38.:33:47.

It is impressive from Scotland. All of the players on the defence so

:33:48.:34:05.

quickly. Nice option from Lawrenson. They are hanging in there, St Lucia.

:34:06.:34:33.

2716, the captain asks for more. -- 27-16. Mulharen does well, winning

:34:34.:34:47.

the throw. Limited options available for St Lucia in the second phase of

:34:48.:34:53.

the centre pass. Options for Scotland.

:34:54.:34:59.

What teeth think? Does the coach make changes, get more players out

:35:00.:35:11.

here for the first game? Does she want them to build? She knows the

:35:12.:35:17.

strength of the bench, equally you want to ensure your strongest seven

:35:18.:35:23.

get time on court to work through some of those early anxieties in a

:35:24.:35:28.

competition like this. Potentially we may see Cray -- Claire Brownlee

:35:29.:35:39.

in the goal defence position. 28-17. A chance for Scotland to add

:35:40.:36:14.

yet more. Justin really applying some pressure, but Connell just

:36:15.:36:27.

keeping her composure. Just good structure from Scotland, MacDonald

:36:28.:36:34.

working through to the post. Desperate to get the ball through

:36:35.:36:41.

the net. Not quite from MacDonald. She gets an elbow in the face at the

:36:42.:36:46.

same time. She is smiling, why would she not be? They lead St Lucia 29-17

:36:47.:36:56.

at half-time. Two very regular quarters, you could say.

:36:57.:37:01.

Absolutely, you get the sense that Scotland have managed to

:37:02.:37:06.

restructure, just taking a bit of pace off-the-ball at times. So good

:37:07.:37:09.

to see them enjoying the netball. Well done to Scotland on that

:37:10.:37:19.

encouraging first half performance. Almost getting to 30 points. We will

:37:20.:37:25.

Commonwelfies. Earlier we saw Joe juice of England taking part in the

:38:19.:38:25.

super heavyweights for England. -- Joe Joyce. Let's go back and see

:38:26.:38:49.

another bout. Into round two, keen to get out of the gate and resume

:38:50.:39:03.

this contest. There may have to be a change of tactics. He was getting

:39:04.:39:09.

tagged by right hands coming from another neighbourhood. Raking right

:39:10.:39:16.

hands, plenty of leveraged, repeated, and Farr was forced to

:39:17.:39:25.

clench. He could well be walking onto another one of those right

:39:26.:39:29.

hands. He probably needs to change his tactics, getting up close,

:39:30.:39:38.

negating that long-range. Lights Out, boxing at range, the wrong

:39:39.:39:44.

thing to do. Gets caught, bringing the count. Farr had plenty of

:39:45.:39:50.

warnings, that right-hand is a danger punch. Round number two,

:39:51.:39:57.

finding himself on the canvas courtesy of the same shot once more.

:39:58.:40:05.

A good right hand from Farr, perhaps his best punch of the contest. His

:40:06.:40:16.

opponent is incredibly composed. The arcing sweep of the punches,

:40:17.:40:26.

continuing to find an inviting home on Junior Farr. He has to step in,

:40:27.:40:36.

work on close quarters. This is where he has two work. -- has to

:40:37.:40:48.

work. We probably need to see it changing tactic. Just a reminder, he

:40:49.:41:02.

has a live opponent, very experienced, completing for the

:41:03.:41:11.

British Lionhearts. Perhaps we can see him get tested. Farr has got to

:41:12.:41:30.

take advantage of those opportunities on the inside. Farr

:41:31.:41:38.

seems to be passed the worst of his worrying moments, brought about by

:41:39.:41:52.

that powerful right hand. If you are boxing out range against this man,

:41:53.:41:57.

you are literally one punch boxing out range against this man,

:41:58.:42:06.

from being knocked out. This guy is very good at long-range work. Still

:42:07.:42:12.

appearing composed and in control. Trying to get away from his man.

:42:13.:42:19.

Literally moving into range. His range is good to throw the right

:42:20.:42:25.

hand. Farr should be trying to get up close. This guy has been pretty

:42:26.:42:29.

effective with those long-range right hands. Again, another round in

:42:30.:43:01.

unanimous fashion. Just some running repairs required to the waistband on

:43:02.:43:07.

the trunks of Ajagiba. Wearing blue and representing Nigeria. He has

:43:08.:43:19.

boxed brilliantly. Dominated the first round, shot up junior Farr

:43:20.:43:22.

with a right-hand and then did so through the course of the round as

:43:23.:43:26.

well. That was a good right hand over the top from Farr. In the

:43:27.:43:34.

second round, Farr attempted to dodge about the ring, but Ajagiba

:43:35.:43:50.

landed a long-range right hook. Ajagiba only 20 years old. Has not

:43:51.:43:55.

even won a national title in Nigeria. Finds himself here in the

:43:56.:44:14.

Commonwealth Games. On the end of a right-hand once again, and another.

:44:15.:44:20.

Farr is making the job very easy for Ajagiba. He has adjusted his feet

:44:21.:44:26.

and is going back but it is allowing Ajagiba to box at range. It should

:44:27.:44:30.

be trying to step inside and work on the inside. He is probably not used

:44:31.:44:37.

to doing that. He has been so surprised oxime on the outside, he

:44:38.:44:41.

did not think he would be caught with these long-range shots but

:44:42.:44:49.

Ajagiba is very accurate with these long-range shots. He is very

:44:50.:45:02.

accurate, Farr. It is like looking at the famous Cuban. Very tall and

:45:03.:45:13.

with a reach as long as a mile, sometimes. The way he used to keep

:45:14.:45:21.

guys on the end of piston shots. Good right-hand got through them

:45:22.:45:25.

from Farr. It got the attention of Ajagiba. Very powerful shoulders on

:45:26.:45:50.

Ajagiba. When he is not at range, look at the length of his forearm.

:45:51.:45:58.

When he is not out range, and he can planned his feet and get that right

:45:59.:46:04.

hand over the top, it is a devastating shot as Farr can provide

:46:05.:46:13.

testimony to. This 20-year-old has proved to be a revelation in the

:46:14.:46:17.

opening bouts of these Commonwealth Games. It couldn't have been a worse

:46:18.:46:23.

start the Farr. But it continued with some good boxing from Ajagiba.

:46:24.:46:32.

Does not do a lot on the inside, the Nigerian, but is accurate with the

:46:33.:46:36.

right hand. He is going to be very difficult to beat. Try and box him

:46:37.:46:43.

at range, it is a problem. You have got to get in close. Ladies and

:46:44.:46:58.

gentlemen, the winner by unanimous decision and through to the next

:46:59.:47:02.

round, in the loop corner representing Nigeria... Ajagiba! --

:47:03.:47:15.

the blue corner. Show your appreciation to Farr. Ajagiba takes

:47:16.:47:22.

the applause from the Nigerian contingent in the crowd.

:47:23.:47:27.

:47:46.:47:49.

in the opening round of the tournament by 20-year-old Ajagiba

:47:50.:47:57.

from Nigeria. Let's had back for the second half

:47:58.:48:03.

of the net all between Scotland and St Lucia. The score is unchanged.

:48:04.:48:08.

Let's hand you back to the commentary team.

:48:09.:48:39.

Good effort from Laurencin. Lesley MacDonald needs a couple of moments.

:48:40.:49:07.

All the things that must be in that little belt! It is amazing all of

:49:08.:49:14.

the things that go in there. I don't think there is a kitchen sink, but

:49:15.:49:18.

everything else. The faster you try to pull the tape, the slower it

:49:19.:49:24.

gets. Lesley MacDonald getting the fixing she needs. And very young net

:49:25.:49:33.

all fan. I don't think she is that interested. Great to see. Good first

:49:34.:49:45.

ball through from Claire Brownie to Leslie map Donald. Now she is

:49:46.:49:49.

playing in the attack. -- Lesley MacDonald. Loose from Forbes. She

:49:50.:49:59.

was off-balance and needed to get rid of it. She is in the thick of

:50:00.:50:06.

the action, Rachel Forbes. Grew up in Brisbane. Always there on the

:50:07.:50:16.

challenge, quick to recover. Very fast recovery to find her opponent.

:50:17.:50:28.

Work strong to deny. Laurencin always seems to find herself a bit

:50:29.:50:35.

of space. She says, put it high and I will get it. The own or McGrath to

:50:36.:50:52.

stand down. Roxanne Snyder lifts it. -- Fiona Moore-McGrath. Fine rebound

:50:53.:51:04.

by Rachel Forbes. Always strong on the positioning, Rachel Forbes. Very

:51:05.:51:11.

quick to support and great addition for the Scottish side, Rachel

:51:12.:51:23.

Forbes. Slight change of dynamic and speed of release with Claire Brownie

:51:24.:51:32.

in the centre. Compared to the Karin Connell and Samantha Murphy

:51:33.:51:42.

combination. Nice move by Lesley MacDonald. That is the view from the

:51:43.:51:52.

Scottish bench. They will be liking what they see at the moment. 32-18.

:51:53.:52:03.

Great ball. Roxanne Snyder at wing attack but St Lucia. The score just

:52:04.:52:16.

ticking along the St Lucia. At the moment, they are only keeping pace

:52:17.:52:20.

with the Scots. They cannot eat into this lead. Hayley Mulheron just

:52:21.:52:34.

calling down. Lynsey Gallagher calling down Murphy. Really once

:52:35.:52:41.

strong defence from the center pass. Claire Brownie all over Roxanne

:52:42.:52:59.

Snyder. That one was so high it hit the roof.

:53:00.:53:15.

That was dangerous from Roxanne Snyder. Good work again by Samantha

:53:16.:53:27.

Murphy. Keeps the width and uses the centre tunnel around the circle

:53:28.:53:37.

edge. She is just a bit late, Roxanne Snyder. Claire Brownie,

:53:38.:53:50.

pretty resilient. That's one not falling for Lesley MacDonald.

:53:51.:54:06.

Side by the St Lucia and wing defence. Some costly errors by St

:54:07.:54:16.

Lucia allowing Scotland to build on this lead. Fabulous leap by

:54:17.:54:25.

Laurencin. I would like to measure her elevation, it is impressive. She

:54:26.:54:32.

has just returned to the side from international volleyball duties in

:54:33.:54:41.

Puerto Rico. Some incredible arm span she has, the range

:54:42.:54:44.

Puerto Rico. Some incredible arm up the aerial ball. Strong challenge

:54:45.:54:50.

from St Lucia and they have one possession. Saphia William drawing a

:54:51.:55:00.

little bit of attention from the umpires.

:55:01.:55:16.

Good tracking their by Fiona Moore-McGrath. Onto the contact,

:55:17.:55:35.

Laurencin. Not even. How clever was that? The splits, the stand and the

:55:36.:55:45.

release. I don't know how she managed to do that. High, high ball

:55:46.:55:52.

from Roxanne Snyder. Laurencin, short shot. Let's look at

:55:53.:56:21.

what happened down the other end. It is extraordinary. Absolutely. And

:56:22.:56:26.

then able to deliver that safe ball through. St Lucia, another

:56:27.:56:33.

opportunity. Good work by Hayley Mulheron. Just keeping their

:56:34.:56:44.

composure, Scotland as they are getting a little bit of contact.

:56:45.:57:06.

Now, we have a situation here. Gallagher on the floor, calling

:57:07.:57:12.

time, Scotland in charge. A relatively similar margin to what we

:57:13.:57:22.

had at the break was trying to get her players to look down court, look

:57:23.:57:27.

further down the court as the ball into is the mid-court area.

:57:28.:57:58.

A big job ahead for Scotland, coming up against New Zealand tomorrow. It

:57:59.:58:09.

will be a Rafa wounded New Zealand, their pride, if nothing else. Sam

:58:10.:58:17.

Young supporters for Scotland, some great face painting in the crowd. I

:58:18.:58:24.

think that little one has had a big day, she delivered the ball, she

:58:25.:58:27.

won't sleep tonight. Scotland leading, just over six

:58:28.:58:41.

minutes left in the third quarter. Again a good structure, Scotland

:58:42.:58:48.

seem to understand, they have a clear game plan, good to see.

:58:49.:58:54.

MacDonald is such a playmaker. Denise Childs, with her hands behind

:58:55.:59:17.

her back. Some of those shots from MacDonald coming up short. Lack of

:59:18.:59:24.

concentration? I would say there was an element of fatigue.

:59:25.:59:33.

Naturally would be a goal shooter, has been doing a lot of work in the

:59:34.:59:42.

first half. Lovely shooting style from Gallagher. Forbes, again. Just

:59:43.:00:06.

getting it, Maxwell. Will they look for the big, long ball, Rachel

:00:07.:00:11.

Forbes caught a long way down the court. Forbes is in. Lawrenson

:00:12.:00:26.

recovering well. Options for St Lucia around the circle. They do

:00:27.:00:31.

rely on the long ball, they are mixing up their play, getting

:00:32.:00:38.

possession. Gallagher did not realise it was going to come right

:00:39.:00:45.

back. Such a strong commitment from Scotland to put on this defence, St

:00:46.:00:52.

Lucia and need to use the shortfall, breaking through the

:00:53.:00:58.

mid-court area. Good work by Schneider. That was clever. I am not

:00:59.:01:11.

totally sure that she stayed onside, it looks marvellous. Well read by

:01:12.:01:17.

Mulharen. A tight contest between Gallagher

:01:18.:01:37.

and Justin. She does not react, keeping that coolness. Some great

:01:38.:01:49.

shooting by Gallagher. That means when the pass is taken, it has to be

:01:50.:01:57.

taken in the mid-3rd. The call is, untouched.

:01:58.:02:06.

Outstanding from Gallagher. Impressive shooting display. Perhaps

:02:07.:02:21.

that one was lacking a bit of finesse. A good idea, MacDonald was

:02:22.:02:27.

back there. Just needed a bit more space, getting that one in their

:02:28.:02:38.

site a bit late. St Lucia struggling to get the ball through the

:02:39.:02:39.

mid-court. -- in her sights. It was too quick on that occasion.

:02:40.:03:06.

You have to get rid of the ball before you put your first foot on

:03:07.:03:13.

the floor again. Just over one minute left in the

:03:14.:03:32.

third. A good take by Mulharen. Kept a good body position to take the

:03:33.:03:33.

ball. Clyde is going for it. Gallagher

:03:34.:03:58.

trying to set the screen, the space opening up with MacDonald on the

:03:59.:04:00.

front position. Denise Childs may have to be

:04:01.:04:21.

careful, she has been warned about infringing. We saw in the New

:04:22.:04:26.

Zealand against Malawi game, one of the players sent to the side for

:04:27.:04:35.

just that. Good umpiring. There is no system in netball where you

:04:36.:04:42.

accumulate fouls. That is the way to police it. That is the three

:04:43.:04:49.

quarters time. You can did use from the Cheers, another good quarter for

:04:50.:04:57.

Scotland, leading St Lucia 41-23. Saint Lucia leak debris are yet to

:04:58.:05:05.

get into double figures for each quarter. They play some good

:05:06.:05:10.

netball, it is about the consistency, working harder

:05:11.:05:14.

off-the-ball, getting structure in the attacking unit. The aerial ball

:05:15.:05:20.

works to Lawrenson, she is a force to be reckoned with. It is how they

:05:21.:05:30.

position in relation to each other. Look at the tally is there.

:05:31.:05:35.

Defensively, Mulharen a key feature for Scotland. A look at the work of

:05:36.:05:43.

the two teams during the third quarter.

:05:44.:05:53.

A misunderstanding, Forbes very strong, but caught off-balance. That

:05:54.:06:08.

was spectacular. Incredible. I am not sure of the legality of that.

:06:09.:06:13.

The leg was moving. Fantastic though. We enjoy live, the crowd

:06:14.:06:16.

did, too. -- we enjoyed it. Connie Francis getting in there, a

:06:17.:06:47.

few handclaps, getting the players going.

:06:48.:06:56.

What can they bring to this final 15 minutes? Fiona McGrath is a police

:06:57.:07:26.

officer when not playing netball. Mulharen taking the position of goal

:07:27.:07:32.

defence. McNeill coming on as goal-tender. Carnal returning to the

:07:33.:07:42.

attacking spot. -- Connell. We have Joanne Pettitt at shooter. Scotland

:07:43.:07:49.

come away with it. Joanne Pettitt another youngster

:07:50.:08:03.

from the youth squad of last year. Some fabulous performances by her in

:08:04.:08:09.

the competition, good to see her on court making the movement of the

:08:10.:08:19.

full squad. -- to the full squad. Not a bad start. Always good to get

:08:20.:08:27.

a clean shot in the opening stages. She will be pleased with that. She

:08:28.:08:33.

has written down that her sporting idol is Usain Bolt, where better to

:08:34.:08:44.

meeting them here? -- better to meet him than here? Maxwell are electing

:08:45.:08:49.

to put it through to Lawrenson. I am sure that Connie Francis will

:08:50.:09:38.

want to look at St Lucia, and their build-up from the setter pass. The

:09:39.:09:43.

structure and the setup, to try and open up the court. Good jump from

:09:44.:09:59.

McNeill. Lawrenson ready to jump again in case it came out, but it

:10:00.:10:14.

didn't. Quick hands from Connell. Just a little fake, team even draw

:10:15.:10:22.

the defence. Finds Joanna Pettitt, she has entered the court well.

:10:23.:11:02.

pull that ball in. She has certainly come on full of energy. Laurencin is

:11:03.:11:16.

bundled out of sight. Karin Connell is always available. Always working

:11:17.:11:21.

so quick over those three strides at the center pass.

:11:22.:11:49.

Just a calm, did head of Joe Pettit. They like it, and well they might.

:11:50.:12:19.

Plenty of young talent in this Scottish side. How high is that?

:12:20.:12:24.

That was a big challenge the Laurencin. They will get the throw

:12:25.:12:35.

in, St Lucia. Feisty player, June McNeill. Always on the bounce,

:12:36.:12:41.

always on the hunt for any loose ball. Denise Charles takes a tumble.

:12:42.:12:53.

Roxanne Snyder contact means Scotland with the penalty. Good

:12:54.:13:11.

recovery by Fiona Moore-McGrath. Just losing her balance. Scotland

:13:12.:13:13.

keep possession. Claire Brownie, Just losing her balance. Scotland

:13:14.:13:25.

just put a couple of little toes over the line. It has to be over the

:13:26.:13:43.

line. On the line is all right. Certainly slowed their game down

:13:44.:13:50.

now, St Lucia. Definite change in pace. Whether that is fatigue or

:13:51.:13:56.

plan? Laurencin called for the contact. That was loose. So a chance

:13:57.:14:11.

the St Lucia. 20 goals between these two sides. Allowing lie ahead for St

:14:12.:14:30.

Lucia tomorrow. -- Malawi. Clever hand from Claire Brownie. Just

:14:31.:14:39.

showing the options, Scotland through this game. Different

:14:40.:14:45.

position all changes. Developing well as a squad. Stern words for

:14:46.:15:00.

Roxanne Snyder. Outstanding. Lynsey Gallagher!

:15:01.:15:14.

Young combination of shooters to Scotland, but not fazed by this

:15:15.:15:27.

level of competition. Good rebound by Pettitt. Scotland close in on the

:15:28.:15:41.

50 mark. Fiona Moore-McGrath, has gone to the sideline. I didn't

:15:42.:15:52.

see... Already hands going to their bids in the corner of your picture.

:15:53.:16:03.

There you go. Hand. Bit of ice being applied thereto Fiona Moore-McGrath.

:16:04.:16:10.

They will be pleased with this outing, Scotland. They have

:16:11.:16:22.

definitely entered the competition well. Impressive performance. They

:16:23.:16:27.

will be pleased with the results and it will allow them to move forward

:16:28.:16:30.

into the tougher competition with the confidence any squad would want

:16:31.:16:40.

to take with them. It is great to see the experience blending with

:16:41.:16:45.

youth. Really impressed with Pettitt, Lynsey Gallagher, that

:16:46.:16:53.

combination of shooters. Leslie Donald taking a breather, quite

:16:54.:16:58.

rightly so. She must be pleased as well to see some of these shooters

:16:59.:17:04.

coming through. It is a tough competition for both of these sides.

:17:05.:17:13.

For St Lucia tomorrow, Malawi, then Northern Ireland. Scotland have New

:17:14.:17:20.

Zealand tomorrow, Jamaica and then Malawi. And then a more local derby,

:17:21.:17:28.

Northern Ireland to finish. And probably no easy game in any of

:17:29.:17:36.

those. 49-27, Scotland league St Lucia. Seven minutes remaining. --

:17:37.:17:57.

lead. There we see a new shooter for Scotland. Gemma Sole. Another

:17:58.:18:08.

relative youngster. 23 years of age. Her father played rugby for

:18:09.:18:16.

Scotland. And also the British Lions as well. So a bit of sporting

:18:17.:18:24.

pedigree. Good start. Stronghold by Gemma Sole. Gets the goal.

:18:25.:18:34.

Interesting young woman, Gemma Sole, apparently she can speak three

:18:35.:18:42.

different languages. I think French would probably help her with St

:18:43.:18:45.

Lucia. After post, Hayley Mulheron. Away

:18:46.:19:08.

come Scotland. -- off the post. Great reactions by Hayley Mulheron.

:19:09.:19:20.

Quick to see the reaction. Another, 52-27, Scotland over St Lucia.

:19:21.:19:30.

Looking at this display, Scotland has something of a reservoir of up

:19:31.:19:36.

and coming shooters? Absolutely. It is great to see. Gail Parata will be

:19:37.:19:44.

pleased, as the coach for Scotland but they have given a good account

:19:45.:19:53.

of themselves. But it is a great scoreline, 53-27 to Scotland. June

:19:54.:20:01.

McNeill went for the rebound, just could not control it. Really can

:20:02.:20:11.

deny the space, June McNeill in the keeper's spot. We did see her taking

:20:12.:20:16.

some shots at half-time. It is about holding the ball in for June

:20:17.:20:22.

McNeill, and getting possession. Certainly can turn over the ball and

:20:23.:20:25.

force the errors. Teresa Spearing is very clear here,

:20:26.:20:46.

what she is doing. It is a warning for the wing defence. -- to Reza

:20:47.:20:57.

Prince. Right under the goal. Scotland march on. Into the final

:20:58.:21:08.

four minutes. Again, a good feed through to Laurencin. Lots of

:21:09.:21:15.

positive St Lucia can take from this performance, but equally they will

:21:16.:21:22.

be looking for more consistency moving forward. Pettitt found

:21:23.:21:25.

herself in open space. Can just see the two on one

:21:26.:21:55.

situation. Hayley Mulheron just working around, working around the

:21:56.:22:02.

body. Patients were cut by St Lucia. And they hit 30. Quick hands. For a

:22:03.:22:09.

moment I thought the goal was going to save them. Not so.

:22:10.:22:28.

You can see the disappointment on her face. Out of courts. It is the

:22:29.:22:42.

zone in the mid-court that has proved problematic for them. They

:22:43.:22:51.

will have two are just that. -- have tailored just that. Great work by

:22:52.:22:58.

these two young shooters for Scotland. Maxwell lives it the

:22:59.:23:20.

Laurencin. -- for Laurencin. Claire Brownie through the middle. Fine

:23:21.:23:30.

play Scotland. They finished with a flourish as we approach the final

:23:31.:23:33.

minute. Gail Parata enjoying this. So much space available for the

:23:34.:23:40.

shooter, the Gemma Sole. Big smile on her face. She will be pleased

:23:41.:23:45.

with this performance. Supported well by Karin Connell in the

:23:46.:23:50.

wingback position. Excellent all placement by Karin Connell

:23:51.:23:54.

throughout this game. Feeds are shooters well. -- feeds are shooters

:23:55.:24:00.

well. Young fans are lapping up this

:24:01.:24:14.

performance from Scotland. Great for the home

:24:15.:24:17.

performance from Scotland. Great for They start their commonwealth games

:24:18.:24:22.

netball journey, if you like, with a fine win. Would be superb if they

:24:23.:24:30.

could finish with a goal with 15 seconds on the clock. Tricky from

:24:31.:24:35.

Claire Brownie. They will have to be quick. This could be a great finish

:24:36.:24:46.

for Gemma Sole. Penalty. Comes up short. The pictures tell the story.

:24:47.:25:01.

The Scottish flag flies. Line when to Scotland over St Lucia, 58 -

:25:02.:25:08.

dirty and Scotland's first ever appearance in the netball of the

:25:09.:25:09.

Commonwealth Great debut performance. Their

:25:10.:25:16.

resurgence under their new coach continues. Time now for some

:25:17.:25:21.

artistry, agility and grace. It is not coming from me, but from the

:25:22.:25:30.

gymnastics. As far as home nations are concerned, you might want to

:25:31.:25:33.

look out for Laura Halford, from Wales. And her team-mate, Frankie

:25:34.:25:38.

Jones, who won silver four years ago. But here is a guide about all

:25:39.:25:43.

the things you need to know about the sport. In rhythmic gymnastics,

:25:44.:26:02.

athletes have to show artistic ability and technical ability by

:26:03.:26:11.

taking to the floor with apparatus. All rhythmic gymnasts are required

:26:12.:26:19.

to compete in the team competition. The top 16 gymnasts from the team

:26:20.:26:25.

event qualify for the individual final. Gymnasts performed four

:26:26.:26:32.

routines using one piece of apparatus each time. The top eight

:26:33.:26:38.

gymnasts from each apparat is in the team event also qualify for the

:26:39.:26:51.

individual apparat finals. -- apparat apparat -- apparatus finals.

:26:52.:27:11.

Laura Halford, the current British champion.

:27:12.:27:34.

Lovely combination of pivot, super handling. Jumps, leaps, the other

:27:35.:28:25.

important skill. That was a really very good performance. Didn't

:28:26.:28:32.

totally work with the apparatus, but was not waiting for it to arrive.

:28:33.:28:41.

Lovely heights on those leaps. Easy split, isn't it? She makes it look

:28:42.:28:52.

very easy. A difficulty of 6.7 in qualification, how has that stood

:28:53.:28:57.

up-to-date? Did she perform well enough? Only a tiny difference.

:28:58.:29:05.

Pushing her right up into the first spot. There are the judges, giving

:29:06.:29:13.

the scores. One panel for adding the difficulty up, another for taking

:29:14.:29:19.

marks of the ten. Getting a score out of 20. A gymnast who led the

:29:20.:29:28.

Canadian team to gold yesterday, scoring easily the highest. Of

:29:29.:29:35.

course today we start from scratch. This is her second apparatus.

:29:36.:30:10.

Much better. The opener in apparatus was very edgy. She found herself in

:30:11.:31:15.

fifth place, that was much more secure. The hours of practice all of

:31:16.:31:24.

this takes, working with choreographers, to make sure the

:31:25.:31:27.

routine flows cleverly. She is much happier, that is a

:31:28.:31:45.

massive score. Quite a bit higher than yesterday, 14.5. Francesca

:31:46.:31:49.

Jones from Wales. Beautifully expressive work. She was

:31:50.:33:34.

going so well, and we have seen her sometimes in the past falter at the

:33:35.:33:39.

end, but not there. A beautiful performance with the ball. A

:33:40.:33:51.

maturity, really coming into play. Able to perform and express herself

:33:52.:33:55.

at the same time. The hours and hours of training. They had to put

:33:56.:34:03.

it in to give a performance like this under pressure. She is edging

:34:04.:34:17.

towards the magic eight. Here is the standings after the first two

:34:18.:34:18.

pieces. The two Welsh gymnasts really

:34:19.:34:34.

pushing, they will have to be at their best to hold onto those

:34:35.:34:35.

positions. If gymnasts have the confidence to

:34:36.:35:35.

throw it that high, much easier to perform. A little error, that will

:35:36.:36:09.

be costly. One of her trademark pirouettes. Well, interestingly, the

:36:10.:36:18.

two apparatus she scored really highly on in qualification, she has

:36:19.:36:25.

made little errors today. Just a little toss, little loss of

:36:26.:36:38.

concentration. There is the difficult skill, easily done. That

:36:39.:36:45.

is the work that builds the difficulty score and impresses.

:36:46.:37:01.

15.5. It still puts her into the 15 is, that is a big school. -- the

:37:02.:37:14.

15s. The pressure is building for Frankie Jones.

:37:15.:37:54.

APPLAUSE. Wow, what a performance from Frankie

:37:55.:38:47.

Jones. The judges loved her yesterday, her best scores. Let's

:38:48.:38:56.

hope they love it today as well. Such a distinctive style, this

:38:57.:39:01.

routine. Making it her own, and that is the secret when you are

:39:02.:39:07.

experienced and mature. This is her final Commonwealth Games, her third.

:39:08.:39:11.

She was delighted with that. So with the audience. 6.80 difficulty. 7.9

:39:12.:39:24.

the execution. Propelling her into second spot. Laura Halford

:39:25.:39:31.

representing Wales, the British champion. She knows she has to be at

:39:32.:39:37.

their best to stay in contention for a medal. -- she has two be at her

:39:38.:39:42.

best. So difficult, both clubs high in the

:39:43.:41:04.

air. Fabulous shape. Final throw and trap, lots of confidence, really

:41:05.:41:11.

great routine. Wow, three apparatus, both of the Welsh girls

:41:12.:41:16.

have been absolutely stunning on all three pieces. Very strong. Just a

:41:17.:41:25.

little tiny loss of control on that pivot. Both clubs take such a lot of

:41:26.:41:36.

skill to know exactly where it is going to come down. That was

:41:37.:41:38.

delightful. Very nice pirouette. Finished

:41:39.:42:18.

beautifully. Impressive. Very fluent. Very easy.

:42:19.:43:42.

The extension out of the hold. Did not let the leg flop down. High

:43:43.:43:47.

difficulty score. For the final time in this arena,

:43:48.:44:23.

Lauren Brash, representing Scotland in the Commonwealth games. And

:44:24.:44:30.

produces, with a flourish, a beautiful pirouette.

:44:31.:45:44.

What a super performance to finished with. She has had a great

:45:45.:45:48.

Championships, great Commonwealth Games. 15 years of age. Scotland's

:45:49.:45:59.

top gymnast. She was secure, real flourish to finish. Even time for a

:46:00.:46:11.

little kiss before the final role. And there is a score. Puts her first

:46:12.:46:24.

at the moment. She needs a picture of the scoreboard. Francesca Jones

:46:25.:46:33.

for Wales, knows this has to be perfect.

:46:34.:47:56.

Fantastic. She is such a well-prepared gymnast. Supple and

:47:57.:48:21.

strong. Well-trained. Up on the toes for everything. That was the little

:48:22.:48:26.

wobble at the beginning. She put that behind her and did some

:48:27.:48:31.

fabulous work. Very fluent, very stylish. Beautiful bodywork. So

:48:32.:48:41.

expressive. 23 now and full of experience. She really has given

:48:42.:48:46.

this her best shot. Francesca Jones and Laura Halford

:48:47.:49:01.

have battled all year. Laura Halford got the better of the British

:49:02.:49:06.

Championships. Laura Halford here representing Wales. If she can work

:49:07.:49:13.

a clean routine, there is a chance of a medal.

:49:14.:49:35.

What a strong, confident, purposeful routine that was. She really has

:49:36.:50:48.

instilled confidence in this competition. She has never looked

:50:49.:50:56.

like putting a foot wrong. She has obviously got an absolutely great

:50:57.:51:02.

competition temperament. Plenty of determination. Not a thought in her

:51:03.:51:09.

mind she wasn't going to succeed. Stretched it out a little bit there

:51:10.:51:18.

to make the catch. Lovely extension. This is going to be very

:51:19.:51:33.

close. But both the Welsh gymnasts have worked extremely impressive

:51:34.:51:43.

routines. Here we are. She goes in behind Frankie Jones. They are lying

:51:44.:52:02.

first and second at the moment. The Canadian. The leader in qualifying.

:52:03.:52:10.

Bits of in and out performances today.

:52:11.:53:37.

performance with the ribbon. She needs to use for more than 12.9, she

:53:38.:53:46.

needs 13, to take the gold. I think we would expect her to manage that.

:53:47.:53:53.
