It’s day four of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and once again Jersey competitors will be in action.
Today local athletes will only be taking part in two sports: cycling and swimming.
Cyclist Rhys Pilley will be in the 1,000m time trial being held in the Olympic Lee Valley Velodrome in London. There's a field of 22 competitors.
The competition gets underway at 15:32.
But before that though the swimmers will in action in the heats in the pool hoping to go for a medal later in the day. They'll be competing in a range of strokes and distances.
As far as local interest is concerned, yesterday, day three, belonged to gymnast Dan Lee. He finished sixth in the men's all-around event.
What a performance!

Despite credible performances earlier on in the tournament, defeats yesterday, meant it was the end of the road for the men’s triples and pairs bowlers.
Yesterday a 16-11 defeat by England in the afternoon’s quarter-finals saw the trio of Scott Ruderham, Greg Davis and skip Malcolm de Sousa bow out.

And then, a little over an hour later, Jersey and England went head-to-head again, this time in the quarter finals of the pairs.
Jersey duo Derek Boswell and Ross Davis found themselves 8-0 down after four ends and it was likely to be a long way back from there against an in-form England pairing of Jamie Walker and Sam Tolchard.
England ended up 19-6 winners to book their spot in the last four.
