NEARLY a quarter-of-a-century on from her first efforts, Sarah Garbutt is still winning medals for Guernsey on the Island Games stage.
The tally now stands at a staggering 26 after Monday's team triumph, and she is guaranteed at least a silver in the women's doubles, having reached tomorrow's final with Renee Stuart.
That is a sign of her longevity in itself, Garbutt having partnered Renee's mother, Kathy, this year's team manager, to silver in the same event in Gotland back in 1999.
