Jersey have named 29 of their permitted 33-strong team for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Daniel Lee is the island's first-ever male gymnast to be picked, while 400m runner Sam Dawkins is the first track athlete Jersey have had since 1994.

Kim Ashton and Helen Ralston are the island's first female cyclists since the Kuala Lumpur Games in 1998

Shooter Barry Le Cheminant, who in 2014 came close to Jersey's first medal since 1990, is named for a fourth time.

Daniel Halksworth will compete at a third different sport at the Commonwealth Games

The 53-year-old will be shooting at the same range in Brisbane where he made his debut for Jersey back in 1982.

Dan Halksworth is picked for the island's cycling team, having previously competed in the triathlon at Glasgow four years ago and in swimming at Melbourne 2006.

Chrissie Grimes, who was part of the island's triples team that came fourth in 2006, heads up an eight-strong bowls team, while former British discus champion Zane Duquemin will represent the island at his third Games.
