One Blondel is through but the other is knocked out

The vast majority of the Men's Island Golf Championship second round matches played last evening were disappointingly one-sided affairs, including the one major shock of the night as big-hitting youngster CJ Elmy required just 15 holes to knock out an out-of-sorts Jamie Blondel.

However, a see-saw battle between Danny Bisson and Jeremy Nicolle that went the full distance helped to redeem the situation before Danny Blondel and Jack Mitchell provided the fireworks as the sun set on a glorious evening.

Fittingly, a cracking match got the memorable finish it deserved, too, with Blondel emerging victorious thanks to a brilliant wedge approach to little more than 1ft at the first extra hole to progress at the expense of his good mate.
