:: Shetland Island Games

A delighted Shetland team win the Silver medal and pose for the camera's.

A touching moment at the presentation and raising of Island flags' presentation.
Large crowds filled the venue to support their heroes over the duration of the Badminton team event and were filled with emotion when the Shetland flag was lifted, for their excellent achievement.

The looker of the trip (from Greenland. Being a Celtic supporter that is even better.) and she was good at Badminton, aswell.

How does she do it????? Anne Wood produced some fantastic performances, in both the semi and final team event matches - against competitors who are considerably younger and playing at a very high standard for their countries.

Colin Grant & Jason Jamieson (Shetland) gave their all, in the final of the team event - against Jersey. Unfortunately, they lost out 2-1 but considering they had only started playing together, recently - against the class of their competitors, it was a good achievement.

A pumped up Kevin Smith (Shetland) gets the Shetland crowd going with some excellent play in his Mens Singles game, in the semi-final against Greenland. Kevin went on to win 2-0, which influenced the rest of the squad to raise their games to reach the final and lift the silver medal.

A very colourful St Helena team took on Guernsey, in a league match. They might not have been as good as the other players but considering the distance they had travelled they enjoyed themselves throughout the badminton events.
