Rive wins Island Games bowls gold for Jersey
Jersey's Michael Rive has won lawn bowls gold for Jersey at the 2025 Island topped the men's singles round-robin group in Orkney, having beaten all six of his dropped just one set - in a 2-1 win over Bermuda's David Leach - during the entire competition as he upgraded the bronze medal he won two years ago in who competed at the Commonwealth Games in 2010, returned to the sport in 2019 after some time off and took home a silver from the European Championships three years ago. He has a chance for a second medal when he begins his campaign in the men's triples later on Tuesday."It feels great. I came here to get gold and I managed to pull it off," he told BBC Radio Jersey."There's been some really good opposition - the Orkney guy that got silver was a really hard game and I managed to just scrape that one and lost just one game against Bermuda in a tie-breaker."
