Team Jersey have 23 gold medals going into day five of the Island Games, just two short of table-toppers the Faroe Islands.

Star swimming Filip Nowacki clinched another three on day four, bringing his haul in the pool to seven.

That is the same number of golds won so far by host island Orkney's whole team.

He clinched a fourth Island Games record in the men's 100m individual medley, as well as first-placed finishes in the 50m butterfly, and the men set another Games record taking gold in the 4x100m medley relay.

Clara Ginnis grabbed a second individual gold of the games in the 400m freestyle.

There was a 1-2 finish for Jersey in the men's 200m backstroke, with Isaac Thompson taking gold and Oscar Dodds winning silver.

27 of Jersey's 55 medals so far have come in the pool.

There was double cycling success for Jersey, with Tom Huelin winning the men's individual road race, and the team taking the top spot too.

Jersey's squash players are celebrating, picking up titles as the sport made its return to the Island Games for the first time in six years.

Siblings Amelie and Will Turpin took bronze in the mixed doubles, there was silver for Amelie and Beth Garton in the women's doubles and silver for Antony Harkin and Matt Boote in the men's doubles.

Archer Mollie Perret picked up a third gold medal in Orkney in the women's recurve.

In athletics, Jamie Oldham won his second silver in the 200m.
