  14. Strong start for Jersey's badminton teampublished at 11:25 British Summer Time 25 June 2017

    BBC Radio Guernsey

    In their first group stage match at the Island Games in Gotland, Jersey dispatched Bermuda 5-0.

    On court, Bermuda's Denzel Simons was no match for Alex Hutchings, who ran out 21-4, 21-7.

    That set the trend with Bermuda unable to get into double figures in the ladies singles, and the doubles round that followed.

    It's a long road ahead for Jersey, who won gold two year ago, but they've made an excellent start.

    Next up are Gibraltar next at 15:00 with the island topping the table advancing to the semi-finals.

    Guernsey are also looking strong - they beat Ynys Mon by the same 5-0 margin.
