Team Ynys Môn have won two gold medals on the track as the 2025 Island Games in Orkney reaches its halfway stage.

Beca Bown was crowned the women's 1500m champion in Kirkwall on Tuesday.

The Menai Track and Field Club runner won the final in a time of 4 minutes 34.85 seconds, with Abbie Stewart of the Western Isles taking silver (4:35.77) and home favourite Anna Tait winning bronze (4:36.19).

On Monday, Ffion Roberts began Team Mon's medal rush by defending her 400m women's title in 54.12 seconds, ahead of Orkney's Emily McArthur (56.84) and Guernsey's Amelia Hart (57.41)

Roberts also won gold at the 2023 Games in Guernsey and took bronze in the same event in Gibraltar in 2019.

There was further success in the gymnastics as Calla Woodcock won the bronze medal in the Women's SET Individual Beam competition.

Woodcock scored 11.7 in the final, with Mia Højgaard taking gold for the Faroe Islands (11.95) and Edit Virta of Åland winning the silver (11.9) - while Môn finished fourth out of an eleven-strong field in the Women's 4-Piece team event.

Elsewhere, the men's football team have reached the semi finals, where they'll play the Isle of Man at Kirkwall Grammar School on Thursday.

They ran out 1-0 winners over the Western Isles in their opening game at Remdall on Monday, thanks to a 20 yard-strike from Jack Smith in the 90th minute.

But Môn were held to a 2-2 draw against Bermuda on Tuesday, despite a first half brace - including a penalty - for Liam Morris.

Mason Christian hit back on 22 minutes, followed by a stoppage time equaliser from Jakeem Jennings in the 91st minute.

The two sides could meet again in Friday's showpiece - with Bermuda taking on Jersey in the second semi final.

There were mixed fortunes for the women's football team, who were beaten 4-2 by the Western Isles on Monday, despite taking the lead through Ellie Jones after six minutes.

Carol Lewis scored an unlucky own goal to restore parity two years later, and although Erin Burns briefly drew level, the Western Isles went onto clinch victory with goals for Kyla McMurdo and Jessica Macleod.

Môn responded on Tuesday with a 6-1 win over Hitra, which saw Menna Evans and Hannah Owen put the Welsh side 2-0 up with Casi Evans adding a third before half time.

Menna Evans made it a brace just after the break, before Ceri Slaney and Ellie Jones put the result beyond that, with Silje Glørstad replying.

Môn Women will play Jersey in a play-off for 5th and 6th place at Stromness on Thursday.

Elsewhere, Josh Metcalfe is currently second in the ILCA 7 sailing competition - with Arthur Farley of the Isle of Wight in the lead after four races.

In the swimming pool, local pair Hywyn Jones and Henley Moffat recorded personal best times in the 100m butterfly (1:06.93) and the 50m breaststroke (37.91) respectively.

And the opening day of competition saw Penny Butterfield (16th) and Amy Plank (21st) figure strongly in the women's triathlon while Griff Roberts (31st) and Armon Williams (41st) took part in the men's event.

More than 2,000 athletes from 24 islands around the world are taking part in the bi-annual games, which are being held on Orkney for the first time in its history.

HRH Princess Anne attended the opening ceremony and athletes parade at Bignold Park in Kirkwall on Saturday evening.
