Ted Chamberlain won a Island Games gold just a year after moving to Jersey

Jersey's Ted Chamberlain has won 1,500m gold at his first Island Games in Orkney.

The runner finished in a time of 3;55.53, more than a second ahead of Guernsey's Chris Bain with isle of Man's Sam Perry third.

"I'm absolutely delighted," Chamberlain told BBC Radio Jersey.

"It's my first Island Games, I've only lived in Jersey for a year, so it's an absolute privilege to be representing the team."

Meanwhile Jersey javelin thrower Daniel Dubras won silver in Kirkwall.

Dubras' throw of 57.97m was 2.52m behind Saaremaa's gold medallist Rauno Liitmae.

But the Jerseyman did oust Liitmae's compatriot Koit Simso who was more than seven metres behind him in the bronze medal position.
