Burden Given Bye To Games Quarter Finals

Team Isle of Man's Jade Burden has gone straight through to the quarter finals of the women's lightweight boxing at the Commonwealth Games having been given a bye.

 

It means she'll face either Megan Reid of Scotland, or Gemma Richardson of England.

 

Burden said, "It's a little frustrating that I can't get straight into it and have to wait longer, but it's in my mind one win away from a medal and putting the Isle of Man on the map".

 

The bye was awarded due to the numbers competing and was subject to a draw.
