Top pair aim for a golden return

PATRICK OGIER and Dom McLuskey will be reunited on the Island Games stage in Bermuda with another gold medal firmly in their sights.

The formidable Guernsey duo both missed the 2011 Games in the Isle of Wight, but, prior to that, their dominance in the men's team event was unquestioned.

Gold medals at Rhodes 2007 and Aland 2009, as well as an unofficial Games tennis competition in 2005, mean they are unbeaten as a pair in the competition.

They head up a strong Sarnian men's team that is missing only Rob West, but includes the Robinson brothers of Pieter and Nico, while the women's quartet is also at strength with Jo Dyer, Georgina Denton, Carly Tucknott and debutant Lauren Barker.

Being able to name such a strong team pleases team manager Rick Denton, who is confident of medal success throughout the various events.

TEAM

Men: Dom McLuskey, Patrick Ogier, Nico Robinson, Pieter Robinson.
