Le Tocq is island singles badminton king for 10th time

PAUL LE TOCQ has achieved the perfect 10.

The top seed and defending champion lived up to his billing in Thursday night's Island Championships men's singles final as he overcame Stuart Hardy in straight sets to retain his crown.

It was his 10th in total and since his first he has never been beaten, with his run of titles only broken by the occasions he has not competed.

Charlotte Barnes is women's champion after defeating Chloe Le Tissier.
