Medals for Guernsey on final day of Island Games

Darcey Hodgson won her first-ever individual Island Games gold medal

Guernsey's Darcey Hodgson has won 800m gold on the final day of the 2025 Island Games in Orkney.

Hodgson's time of 2 mins 12.89 secs saw her beat Orkney's Emily McArthur by 0.34 secs, with Western Isles' Abbie Stewart finishing third.

It was an upgrade on the silver medal she won on home soil two years ago and her first individual Island Games gold.

It was also her second individual medal in Kirkwall, having won 400m hurdles silver on Sunday.

Hodgson then went on to help her island's 4x400m relay team win silver.

She helped Amelia Hart, Emily Pike and Abi Galpin finish just over two seconds behind gold medallists Orkney.

Meanwhile Guernsey's women's 4x100m team of Amelia Hart, Matilda Beddow, Rhiannon Dowinton and Emily Pike won a bronze medal in a time of 48.69.

Earlier on Friday, Guernsey half marathon runners Sammy Galpin, James Priest and Ethan Woodhead won a bronze medal in the men's team event.

Galpin was 24 secs off an individual medal as he finished in fourth place behind Faroe Islands' Julian Gregersen.

Priest was 10th, while Woodhead finished in 17th place.

Alex Tapp and David Trebert reached the last 16 of the men's doubles at the last island Games in Guernsey

Meanwhile, Alex Tapp and David Trebert have won silver in badminton's men's doubles.

The Guernsey duo, who reached the last 16 two years ago on home soil, had not dropped a game on their way to the final.

But they could not find a way past Faroe Islands' top seeds Magnus Dal-Christiansen and Runi Oster as they were beaten 21-11, 21-12.

"We believed we had an outside chance of getting a medal - the final might have bene pushing it a little bit far," Trebert told BBC Guernsey.

"But had we performed at our best in the final we might have had a better chance of winning the gold."

Having been seeded outside the top four, the Guernsey duo had to overcome Faroes' third seeds Jonas Djurhuus and Asbjorn Heide Olsen in the quarter finals.

They then went on to defeat Menorca's second seeds Albert Navarro Comes and Carlos Riudavets Sintes in the semi-finals.

"We came into these games as a five to eight seed, and having looked at the draw we thought if we could play at our best level there was a chance," added Tapp.

"Did I think we would get a silver medal? No probably not, but to have knocked out the number two seeds on the way here we can't really complain with that."

Criterium medals for Guernsey riders

Hannah Kennedy has competed at triathlon and cycling for Guernsey at the 2025 Island Games

Guernsey's women have won team gold and individual silver and bronze medals in the cycling criterium around Kirkwall.

Hannah Kennedy finished two seconds behind Faroe Islands' Susanna Skylv Sorensen and just edged out teammate Pippa Inderwick in an exciting finish.

Elsewhere there was an eighth-placed finish for Chloe Truffitt and a ninth place for Andrea Nightingale as Guernsey were the best-placed team overall.

"I'm buzzing. It was such a good race," Kennedy told BBC Guernsey

"I did the triathlon on Sunday and this is a bonus extra doing the cycling races.

"Coming fourth on Wednesday in the road race spurred me on, and along with Pippa I think we've worked really well together."
