Teenage shooter Amber Hill’s bid for Commonwealth Games glory came to an end after a dramatic sudden-death shoot-off in the women’s skeet.

Having shot a disappointing 65 out of 75 in qualifying,16-year-old Hill faced a three-way shoot-out with England teammate Sarah Gray and Panagiota Andreou of Cyprus.

Andreou was first to crack but Gray held her nerve for five rounds of double clays while Hill missed with her fifth.

It was a sad end for one of Team England’s best medal hopes but the 2013 BBC Young Sports Personality of the year bowed out gracefully.

“I’ve really enjoyed it and had a really good day,” she said.

“I started off well but had a few problems with my last round but I’ve had a great time and it’s been a really good experience.

“I can’t say I wasn’t nervous. In the first round nerves were definitely there. But I’ve got to turn it into the positives and look to the future. Sarah shot an incredible final and deserved to go through.

“It’s fine margins but I’ve got a lot of stuff to go back and practice with my coach. We are looking forward to the World Championships later this year.

“This is my first Commonwealths and I’ve never been to a competition of this scale so I’ve definitely learned a lot from this and I will use it in competitions in the future.”

Meanwhile, Dan Rivers won a bronze medal for England in the 10m air rifle.

Rivers had qualified for the final with a Games record score ahead of teammate Ken Parr in second.

But the duo were usurped by Indian shooter Abhinav Bindra and Abdullah Baki of Bangladesh in a tense encounter.
