Busy weekend for Team Isle of Man

Monday, 28 July 2014 08:20

It's been a busy weekend for Team Isle of Man in the Commonwealth Games with one medal claimed at Glasgow 2014.

Manx cyclist Peter Kennaugh won a silver medal in the men's 40km Points Race with 84 points, a mere 14 points behind race winner, Thomas Scully from New Zealand.

An Isle of Man team hadn't won silver since Dave Moore won the 50m Rifle Prone in 1998.

Swimmer Grant Halsall also set a new record in the 50m Backstroke event and lawn bowler Bernice McGreal finished her group games at Kelvingrove against Zambia.
