BADMINTON - GBA announce Åland Games Team Print E-mail

There was good news and bad news for Badminton Team Manager Kathy Stuart as the Guernsey Badminton Association selectors announced the team for the 2009 NatWest Aland Island Games. The unavailability of several top players including Elena Johnson, Sarah Garbutt, Paul Le Tocq, Chris Dragun and Glenn MacFarlane will arguably make the task of retaining a team medal more difficult.

However, the good news is that the team will be lead by island stalwart, Kevin Le Moigne, back after a horrific Achilles injury that has seen him out of action for a season and a half. “I am delighted that Kevin is back on court again and in my opinion is playing better than he was before his injury” said manager Stuart.

The other male player with Island Games experience is Quentin Petit and he and Le Moigne will be joined by James Domaille, Jake Mann and former England international Ian Sullivan. “We are fortunate to have the services of Ian, his international experience will be of great benefit to the team” said Stuart.

Åland 2009 News - Travel & Accommodation

Guernsey's Island Games athletes could each face a bill of up to £900 to go to this summer's event in Åland.

The island is sending a party of 238 to the Finnish island in the Baltic, with 213 competitors.

The flight for the athletes will cost in the region of £330, with the rest of the costs associated with food and accommodation.

The cost is more than Rhodes in 2007, but less than Shetland 2005 when athletes had to stay on a cruise ship.

"Our flight has helped this year," said Guernsey's Island Games Association's chairman Denise Fawcett.

"The price that they've been able to do the travel is very good, and the other advantage is that we're paying in sterling, as opposed to the accommodation which is in Euros."

And Fawcett says that while the price of the accommodation, at about £500, is about what was expected, the team will not be able to stay together.
