The 4x100 metres medley relay team set a new national record after placing fourth in yesterday's final at the Limassol Pool.

The quartet of Nicole Cremona, Talisa Pace, Melinda Sue Micallef and Davina Mangion completed the distance in 4:36.51 to share 0.35 of a second off the old mark set in April.

Iceland clinched gold in a new Games record of 4:15.26 while Cyprus also went below the previous mark to take silver in 4:21.54 ahead of Luxembourg, 4:23.29.

Pace and Micallef also took part in the 50m freestyle event. In the morning session these two swimmers secured their place in the final after posting the seventh and eighth fastest times respectively. Pace clocked 28.16 seconds while Micallef's time was 28.42.

In the afternoon final, it was Micallef who outpaced her team-mate when placing seventh in 28.18 while Pace lowered her time to 28.30.

Iceland's Ragnheidur Ragnarsdottir set a new Games record on her way to winning gold in 25.62. She finished just ahead of team-mate Ingibjorg Jonsdottir (26.69) and Cyprus swimmer Rania Pavlou (26.98) to maintain the upward trend in GSSE swimming standards.

Andy Colbourn's swimming team wrap up their commitments this morning when they compete in the 4x100m freestyle relay.
