Evan Campbell was the fourth-best thrower in the shot put [Getty Images]Jersey's Evan Campbell said he had a "rollercoaster day" as he became the first-ever islander to compete in the decathlon at the Commonwealth Games.The 25-year-old is 10th at the midway point of the 10-discipline event in Glasgow.Despite running a personal best of 11.32 seconds, he was last of the 12 competitors after the 100m and remained bottom after the long jump.But a season's best 14.43m in the shot put moved him up to 10th place and he followed that up with another season's best in the high jump of 2.00m - the second-highest of anyone in the field - to rise up to eighth place.Campbell finished last in his heat in the 400m in 53.63 seconds - the slowest time of the evening - to drop back down to 10th place on 3,743 points."There were points today where I was pretty low and there were points where I was pretty high," he told BBC Jersey."It's crazy how it comes and goes like that, but that's what the decathlon's like."I've been injured a lot of the year, it's part of the sport so it's not an excuse."I didn't do that too well in the past six weeks, but I'm glad I'm here and giving it a good go."To come fourth in the shot put and second in high jump - I'm buzzing."Andrieux enjoys taking on 'world-class' oppositionAbbey Andrieux has lost all four of her matches so far [BBC]Jersey bowler Abbey Andrieux says she is enjoying playing "world-class" opposition in Glasgow.Andrieux is yet to win a game in the women's singles and lost 2-0 to reigning gold medallist Ellen Fife in her third game on Thursday morning.Fife, who beat Guernsey's Lucy Beere to win singles gold in 2022, won the first set 12-5 despite Andrieux drawing level at 3-3 after the third end.The Jersey player conceded a four-shot maximum in the opening end of the second set and went on to lose it 8-4."It's tough out there, you're playing the world's best but I performed OK," she told BBC Jersey. "I had some good ends, some not so good ends."It's a privilege to play world class people, gain the experience and hopefully in years to come I can only do better."I'll keep pushing on and hopefully get that win at some point this week."Andrieux went on to lose to Cook Islands' Emily Jim in her fourth game on Thursday evening.The Jersey player was beaten 9-5 in the opening set and was 6-0 down after the first three ends of the second.She did pull a shot back in each of the next two ends to make it 6-2 before Jim earned a shot in the final end to win it 7-2.Andrieux faces Malta's Connie-Leigh Rixon and Falkland Islands' Daphne Arthur-Almond in her final pool matches on Friday as she aims to get off the bottom of the group.Malcolm de Sousa is competing at his fifth Commonwealth Games for Jersey [Getty Images]Meanwhile, Jersey's men's pair of Malcolm de Sousa and Ross Davis got their first win of the Commonwealth Games. The duo, who had lost their opening two matches, needed a tie-breaker to beat Malta and move off the bottom of their group.The Jersey duo lost the first set 5-1 but an excellent three-shot haul in the final end of the second set meant they won it 4-3.That took the game to a tie-break, which they won 2-0. They will face bottom side Niue in their penultimate game on Friday.

[Getty Images]Wales will contest the 9th/10th playoff after a 74-28 loss to Jamaica in their final pool match.This was their fourth defeat of the Commonwealth Games with just a solitary win against Trinidad and Tobago.It was a competitive opening quarter from the Welsh Feathers who trailed by just two goals at the first break.But Jamaica showed why they are the 2022 silver medallists as a clinical second quarter from the Sunshine Girls saw them pull away.Wales tried to compensate by making several changes, with captain Bethan Dyke even dropping to the bench. But the onslaught from Jamaica continued and they extended their lead to 36-18 at half time.Despite some positive moments for Wales in the third and fourth quarters, Jamaica proved too strong, converting attacks ruthlessly to seal victory and a place in the semi-finals.It's been a disappointing competition for Wales who will finish at least one place lower than four years ago, after finishing eighth in Birmingham in 2022.They will need to dust themselves off quickly ahead of tomorrow morning's classification match with Tonga at 11:00 BST.

The New Orleans Saints returned to the practice field Thursday for another day of training camp. The offense produced several highlight-worthy plays, and the defense continued to create its share of pressure and competition during team drills.Obviously, training camp highlights should always be taken with a grain of salt. Still, every rep is important, especially for players who are on the roster bubble or fighting for a starting role. Thursday's session was the first of several open practices that the Saints will have throughout the preseason.New Orleans will return to the field for its next open practice on Friday at 9 a.m. CST at their Ochsner Sports Performance Center.

Curt Cignetti takes apparent shot at SEC while singing Big Ten praises: 'We don't cry a river' originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.College football's return is near, and debates centering on the SEC's might are already underway.Some SEC coaches, including Lane Kiffin, have complained about the SEC's new nine-game conference schedule, arguing it will keep more SEC teams out of the playoff, while ESPN's Laura Rutledge worries SEC teams will be "gassed" by the end of the season.If his comments Thursday are any indication, Indiana coach Curt Cignetti hears those complaints and more from the SEC's biggest proponents.Here's what Cignetti had to say in an apparent shot at the SEC.MORE:Who dares to prove Indiana coach Curt Cignetti wrong in Year 3?Curt Cignetti takes apparent shot at SECCignetti closed out his Big Ten media day press conference with what certainly sounds like a shot at the SEC."We dont run a hype machine up here in the Midwest," Cignetti said. "We believe everythings earned, not given. And when we fall short, we say, We fell short. We dont cry a river and whine and complain. And thats why were the best."The Big Ten is the best league in football We dont run a hype machine up here in the Midwest. We believe everythings earned, not given. And when we fall short, we say, We fell short. We dont cry a river and whine and complain. And thats why were the best.Indiana head CFB Kings (@CFBKings) July 30, 2026Proponents of the SEC coming up with creative ways to defend the conference after shortcomings is nothing new, but recent comments appear to have Cignetti's attention.Whether it's Kiffin's complaints about the nine-game conference schedule or Texas' Steve Sarkisian threatening to cancel the Longhorns' home-and-home series with Notre Dame over concerns about how the selection committee weighs strength of schedule, it doesn't sound like the reigning national champion head coach plans to take the same approach.MORE:Ranking Big Ten schedules, from hardest to easiestCurt Cignetti at Big Ten media dayFew thought they would see the day that a press conference by the Indiana head coach is the main event of Big Ten media day, but everyone wanted to hear what Cignetti had to say after winning a national championship in January.Cignetti made one thing clear: he's not settling for one title."It's time to turn the page, which I don't have a problem doing," Cignetti told ESPN on Thursday. "Our coaches don't have a problem doing that, and the core group that was with us last year in the locker room do that well too."Cignetti said he and his staff will be "stalking complacency" within the locker room, but he noted that the roster has seen plenty of turnover since January."Our guys know the blueprint, the plan, the process, the standard, and they help the new ones assimilate," Cignetti said. "And so far I like what I see."It could be a relaxed start for Indiana, as the Hoosiers open the season at home against North Texas, Howard, Western Kentucky and Northwestern before going on the road to face Rutgers. That will change in an instant when Indiana faces Ohio State and Michigan in back-to-back weeks in October.MORE:Big Ten commish plays nice with SEC, for the most part
