David Beattie, a silver medallist in 2006, will be in action in the men's double trap shooting event, along with David Henning. Qualifying and the final take place on Sunday.

Ballymena's Kirsty Barr is in action in the women's double trap while David Calvert and Jack Alexander, who finished out of the medals in the full bore pairs, go in the individual competition.

Northern Ireland's netball team, having lost their first two pool matches, take on New Zealand on Sunday.
