Here's a report from news.bbc.co.uk:
Jersey have announced 33 competitors in their Commonwealth
Games squad to head out to Delhi in October.
The island will be
represented in eight different sports, including archery for
the first time. The archery team will be represented by Lucy
O'Sullivan and Michael Coward, with Judy O'Sullivan as team manager.
Jersey are also sending their largest support team of any Commonwealth
Games including four doctors because of increased risk of disease.

Commonwealth Games Association secretary general Alan Cross said
a special development fund has helped the island side. He told
BBC Jersey: "This
is probably the best organised team in terms of preparation we
have ever had leaving the island."
Jersey
will be competing in archery, athletics, badminton, cycling,
lawn bowls, squash, shooting and swimming.
They are hopeful of doing
well in a number of sports including archery, lawn bowls and
swimming through Ian Black.
Cross said: "We've heard excellent reports of Ian Black with
his work down in Perth, he has got a couple of island records."
Jersey
will also be sending a strong badminton contingent, although
two of the island's best medal hopes could be unavailable because
of a possible England call-up. Mariana Agathangelou and Elizabeth
Cann will find out this week whether they will play for Jersey
or England in Delhi. Cross said: "I think it is pretty certain
that if they are selected for England that they will choose to
compete for England, which is a shame for our point of view but
understandable."
