Wednesday photos

Below are a selection of the Brand's photos from Wednesday's action.

I'm not sure who looks more relaxed here, Keith or Andy W!

Andy B has been taking advice from Keith all week

Tom Riley had no trouble in his 100 metres heat

Rachael Franklin was strong and controlled in her 800 metres heat

Sarah Astin gave it everything she had in the same race as she tucks in behind Sarah Livett of Ynys Mon

Sarah Halligan qualified for the 200 metres semis with a third place finish in her heat

Harriet Pryke was way out in front in her heat, looking in superb form 

Ben Brand got through to the 400 metres semi-final with a fourth place finish in his heat

Rich Sille has done a great job as part of the management team, and seems to fancy his chances as a shot putter in the next Games!

The athletics competition had a royal visitor yesterday. Prince Edward is no stranger to the Island Games, having been the guest of honour when the Games were held in the Isle of Man in 2001

Charlotte Christian (second left) is introduced before the Hammer final...

...and threw consistently for a fifth place finish

Reagan Dee (second left) and Sinead Kaneen (fourth left) are introduced before the High Jump final

Sinead prepares to jump...

...and clears 1.45 metres easily...

...and was equally impressive over 1.50 metres, which gave her sixth place

Reagan Dee entered the competition at 1.55 metres, and prepares for her first jump...

...which she cleared with a huge amount to spare

Not quite so much to spare at 1.63 metres, but this was the jump that won Reagan the gold medal

Reagan also cleared 1.66 metres to increase her victory margin...

...and came desperately close to clearing 1.70 metres

Reagan with her first, and surely not last, Island Games gold medal!

Gail Griffiths shadows Shetland's Michelle Sandison midway through the 10,000 metres final

Hannah Howard looking strong and relaxed at the same point in the race

Gail was literally flying as the race approached the closing stages...

...and crosses the line to finish fifth in a superb time of 38.06

Despite the impression this photo gives, Hannah was actually very happy with her time of 38.27 and a sixth place finish!

Gail and Hannah have had a great week

Harry Pugh about to launch the javelin into the far distance...

...and what a follow-through!
