She also won a silver in the single 1440 recurve team event.

"I didn't think I'd be coming home with anything, so to win gold on the first day and a silver was fantastic," Perrett told BBC Radio Jersey.

"Winning that gold on the first day definitely helped, it boosted my confidence that maybe I can do this.

"Having that team around you and seeing that other people are here to support has definitely helped."

Perrett's medal came as Jersey's bowlers won their third medal of the games.
