Gavin Manders has promised to ‘leave it all on court’ as he goes in search of two gold medals at the Island Games today.Manders reached two tennis finals yesterday on a day when the Island’s sailboarders picked up Bermuda’s first gold in the team event, the men’s basketball team reached their second consecutive final and several other athletes added to Bermuda’s growing medal haul.Athlete Shianne Smith bagged a silver and bronze, Scott Mello took bronze in the individual sailboarding event, Lasers sailor Jason Saints also picked one up on the water and helped Bermuda take bronze in the team event.Damian Palayandi is also well placed to challenge for a medal. The golfer fired a third round 69 and is lying fourth, just two shots behind Jamie Blondel from Guernsey going into today’s final round.Manders made the final of the men’s singles event after crushing James Connely from Jersey 6-1, 6-1 yesterday and will now take on Panav Jahr from Cayman Islands this morning.The Island’s top tennis player will also feature in the doubles final alongside partner Jenson Bascome in a match that Bermuda are guaranteed to win a medal, no matter what happens.Bascome and Manders dismantled Saaremaa pair Rauno Gull and Mihkel Kruusmägi 6-0, 6-1 to set up an all Bermuda-final against countrymen Naim Azhar and David Thomas who overcame a tough first set tie-breaker against top-seeded Menorcans Jesus Curiel and Carlos Previ to eventually win 7-6, 6-1.Tyler Smith’s run came to an end in the women’s semi-finals as she lost heavily, 6-1, 6-0, to favourite Amanda Carreras of Gibraltar.“It feels great to make the finals in both singles and doubles,” said Manders, “especially with the level being higher then we’ve ever seen overall.“But honestly, I won’t be happy till I bring the gold home for Bermuda. Especially for all the people who believe in us and have seen all the work we put in to prepare.“We are the fittest team here, and that’s why we have two teams in the doubles final and me in the singles final, because we are the most prepared team here. This ranks up there on my list of accomplishments, but like I said, I will not settle until I bring home the golds for Bermy. I promise to leave it all on the court and represent Bermy to the fullest.”While Manders and his team-mates were sweeping all before them on the court, on the track Smith was winning her third and fourth medals of the Games.Smith took silver in the 400m hurdles, finishing in a time of one minute 04.14 seconds behind Angela Lopez of Menorca (1:02.76). Sophie Twinam of Jersey was third in 1:04.58.Minutes after finishing the hurdles, Smith was back in action again, jumping five metres 43 centimetres to take bronze in a long jump event won by Hanna Wiss of Aland who leapt 5.93 metres.Elsewhere, Gary Raynor made today’s 1500 metres finals after finishing second in his semi-final in a time of 4:10.94, while Melissa Clarke came seventh in the final of the women’s 200m with a time of 26.07. Harriet Pryke of the Isle of Man ran a 24.76 to take gold.Defending champions in the men’s basketball, Bermuda set up a final clash against Saaremaa today with a comfortable 88-52 win over Gibraltar. The women didn’t enjoy as much success, however, as they lost their semi-final to Menorca 100-32.With Palayandi leading the way, Bermuda’s men are currently fifth in the team golf event, although it would take something dramatic to get them into the medal places. Their 676 total leaves them 32 shots adrift of Guernsey who are third going into the final round.Camiko Smith is 20th in the individual men’s competition after carding a 74 yesterday, while Alex Osbourne is 36th and Ryan Benevides 43rd.Ebonie Burgess continues to lead the women, who are also fifth in their team competition. Burgess recorded an 86 and is eighth with Katrin Burnie (22), Laura Robinson (24) and Elizabeth Parsons (33) not too far behind.On the water Bermuda racked up four medals yesterday, with the sailboarders leading the way with their golden performance in the team event. Mello took bronze just ahead of team-mate Oliver Riihiluoma, and with David Kendall and Neil Burnie also putting in solid performances their 16-point total was enough to see them finish ahead of Menorca and Jersey.Saints narrowly missed out on going one better as he also took bronze in the Laser Radial, with Sara Lane Adderley sixth in that event. Brett Wright and Rockal Evans, meanwhile, finished sixth and seventh in the Laser Standard as Bermuda also took bronze in the team competition.Squash pair Micah Franklin and Chris Stout narrowly missed out on bronze in the men’s doubles going down 2-1 to Gibraltar duo Anthony Brindle and Adam Newnham in their third-place play-off match. Female duo Juliet Ferrari McComb and Laura Robinson also lost and finished sixth after losing their fifth-place play-off match against Lyndsey Tickell and Vickey Watterson of the Isle of Man.The Games are also over for the Island’s volleyball teams, although it took a thrilling five-setter before the women finished fifth after beating Rhodes 3-2 (113-106). The men ended their Games in eighth, going down 3-0 to Greenland.For more Island Games pictures go to: http://www.royalgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/tngallery?Site=RG&Date=20110630&Category=SPORT&ArtNo=630009999&Ref=PH
