Guernsey boxer Tommy Teers saw his Commonwealth Games debut end in defeat.
The 28-year-old bantamweight - who juggles his boxing training with working as a carpenter - lost on a split decision to Eriu Temakau of Kiribati.
Teers had a point deducted for a low blow in the opening round before improving in the second.
But Temakau won the third round and took the decision 3-1.
"Surprisingly, I feel good - a split decision loss, I think the point deducted away from me in the first round kind of edged it his way, which is boxing, these things happen," Teers told BBC Guernsey.
