:03:49. > :03:51.At the end of the day, we have to do our absolute best

:03:52. > :03:53.Despite the score, I was still pretty pleased `t how I

:03:54. > :04:10.I shot at some good elevation, it was just the wind really.

:04:11. > :04:15.Not a day that the broad as high as they would have hoped.

:04:36. > :04:41.the way it is coming today hs from behind us, so it has bden

:04:42. > :04:43.moving left and right. It is an effort to try to g`uge the

:04:44. > :04:47.wind, put it onto the rifle, get the shot up and away as quick as you

:04:48. > :04:50.can, whilst maintaining acctracy. It is something that a lot of us

:04:51. > :04:54.have struggled to do this afternoon. So,

:04:55. > :04:57.it was a great position overnight. Short range is less volatild than

:04:58. > :05:02.long`range, which we have h`d here, 900 yards was not too bad,

:05:03. > :05:07.but 1,000 yards was very difficult. I do not know how I finished up

:05:08. > :05:20.as yet. How much did it mean for yot to be

:05:21. > :05:24.back in the Commonwealth Gales 0 years at the last competed? `` after

:05:25. > :05:28.your last competed? A fantastic feeling. I was delighted

:05:29. > :05:32.to be selected. It is great to be back. The camaraderie in thd Jersey

:05:33. > :05:34.team, the helpers and the officials, the people generally, everyone has

:05:35. > :05:37.loved it. They are a very friendly bunch. Fingers crossed I might do

:05:38. > :05:44.another one. Well, plenty of other Islanders

:05:45. > :05:52.were in Games action today. In the last hour, Jersey men's

:06:25. > :06:46.from both Islands lined up Amazing, better than I could ever

:06:47. > :06:55.have expected. It was a tough old course. Yes, the upper body also. It

:06:56. > :06:59.is sold blocky and hard. All three of Jersey's raiders failed to finish

:07:00. > :07:04.the events is actively lappdd by the leaders. Included the world number

:07:05. > :07:05.four and the rules dictate that anyone caught and overtaken by the

:07:06. > :07:16.league leaders must pull out. And there were mixed fortunds

:07:17. > :07:19.in the table tennis. It was the first day

:07:20. > :07:26.of competition in the singlds and Guernsey's Alice Loveridge has begun

:07:27. > :07:40.her campaign in the women's singles And there's even more Channdl

:07:41. > :07:46.Islands action on the BBC tomorrow. The second round

:07:47. > :07:48.of the women's table tennis singles Alice Loveridge will be

:07:49. > :07:51.in action there. And do not miss

:07:52. > :08:11.Jersey's Elizabeth Cann in After a fine start of the nhght we

:08:12. > :08:19.will see more cloud coming hn over night. It starts off a little glee

:08:20. > :08:25.over `` a little grey in thd morning. Cloud coming in from the

:08:26. > :08:28.North West overnight. It will be arraigned first thing tomorrow

:08:29. > :08:35.morning, overnight temperattres no more than 16 Celsius. Tomorrow,

:08:36. > :08:49.cloudy start, but with dryer starts `` a dry start. If you're hdading to

:08:50. > :08:53.Portugal, it is more a whold than that, but as you move into

:08:54. > :08:59.Switzerland, she it is cooldr and we will see some showers. Further

:09:00. > :09:05.north, fine dry weather as Juventus Scandinavia but more showers as we

:09:06. > :09:11.call into the next few days. Thursday is a cloudy day, btt still

:09:12. > :09:16.dry. We will notice it as wd move into Freddie and Saturday. Here are

:09:17. > :09:21.some frequent showers developing. Leaked to arrive on Friday but upon

:09:22. > :09:30.those on Saturday. A little more bodies from the south`west. That's

:09:31. > :09:32.all from others. Good night. `` from ours.

:09:33. > :09:40.as well and it will turn unseptled at the weekend.

:09:41. > :09:47.As we head into the peak of the holiday season it is becoming more

:09:48. > :09:51.difficult to find any hot weather in the forecast but don't give up on

:09:52. > :09:56.the summer, temperatures edging down back to nearer normal. Certainly an

:09:57. > :10:01.increasing chance of seeing some showers turning up later in the

:10:02. > :10:08.week. The jet stream is the key to the forecast, the winds that blow

:10:09. > :10:13.around about the height that you fly away on your holiday. It is allowing

:10:14. > :10:17.warm air to come up from the southern regions, but it is now

:10:18. > :10:21.starting to creep further southwards. The difficulty for the

:10:22. > :10:28.forecast is knowing how far south it goes because the more it dips, the

:10:29. > :10:30.more unsettled weather tends to become, and cooler as well.
