Meanwhile, Jersey archer Mollie Perrett won her fifth medal at Orkney 2025.<\/p>\n
Perrett, along with Fred Crosby and Tony Vardon, won bronze in the team recurve head to head. <\/p>\n
Having lost to Guernsey 6-2 in the semi-finals, the trio recovered to beat Shetland 6-0 in the bronze medal play-off. <\/p>\n
It was a first bronze of the Games for Perrett, who has won mixed and women’s recurve team head to head knockout gold and women’s 1440 recurve gold.<\/p>\n
She also won a silver in the single 1440 recurve team event. <\/p>\n
“I didn’t think I’d be coming home with anything, so to win gold on the first day and a silver was fantastic,” Perrett told BBC Radio Jersey.<\/p>\n
“Winning that gold on the first day definitely helped, it boosted my confidence that maybe I can do this.<\/p>\n
“Having that team around you and seeing that other people are here to support has definitely helped.”<\/p>\n
Jersey also won silver in the compound head to head team event thanks to Hannah Bridle, Heath Perrett and Francisco Rocha.<\/p>\n
The trio were beaten 215-195 by Faroe Islands in the final, having narrowly defeated Isle of Man 220-218 in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
