:06:36. > :06:40.to the last two bowls, so wd are disappointed. You were leadhng and
:06:41. > :06:46.dominating the match most of the way. I think you only fell behind
:06:47. > :06:52.twice in the whole game. Ye`h, I mean, we were a couple down and we
:06:53. > :06:57.got the second ball and the skip played a good bowl and we h`ven t
:06:58. > :07:04.really been dropping counts so it was quite a crucial end. Just
:07:05. > :07:08.devastated. Did the weight of a possible medal on your shoulders
:07:09. > :07:15.play any part in today? probably the scariest much we've
:07:16. > :07:29.ever played but I road on that and the adrenaline got
:07:30. > :07:39.us going and we both had a good game that something to be pleased about?
:07:40. > :07:51.I'm sure when we get home and the time being, it is still too raw
:07:52. > :07:55.Thank you very much. There is still some Channel Island

:09:04. > :09:07.and someone to physically hdlp her. She says she doesn't really get
:09:08. > :09:24.any financial support on island They could make it more equ`l. I
:09:25. > :09:29.think they fund more for able`bodied athletes, rather than disabled. I've
:09:30. > :09:36.contacted the Guernsey sports commission because I want to do
:09:37. > :09:44.nationals at the swearing in November but I first started in
:09:45. > :09:49.February and I've still not about an actual definite answer, so they
:09:50. > :09:52.might have forgotten. I don't know. Sarah is training hard by md and
:09:53. > :09:54.has to meet some very tough financial commitments to be`t
:09:55. > :10:00.abroad. But it isn't just the money. Sarah's disability category means
:10:01. > :10:01.that she won't be allowed to compete at some events.
:10:02. > :10:03.Each disabled athlete falls into a category.
:10:04. > :10:05.For swimming there are categories ranging from S1 to S10.
:10:06. > :10:06.Sarah's classed as S5, but at the Games in Glasgow they're
:10:07. > :10:13.For more categories to open up, more countries need to be

:10:17. > :10:23.Alliance and former Paralympian Tanni Grey`Thompson is callhng for.
:10:24. > :10:33.Just a platform. There are lot of people here who will get no coverage
:10:34. > :10:40.at home but the Commonwealth gives them that so Glasgow has been
:10:41. > :10:43.amazing but we need to keep working to get more countries sending

:10:52. > :10:52.Well, speaking from Glasgow, Guernsey's Sports Commission says
