Ashton to retire

KIM Ashton, one of Jersey’s most successful sportswomen, will retire from cycling following the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

The 30-year-old, who won six gold medals at the 2015 Island Games, is one of two women representing Jersey in cycling in Australia next month.

Ashton also competed for Jersey in badminton at the 2010 Games in Delhi.

“I think this will be it for me, hit Gold Coast as hard as I can go and then call it a day,” she told BBC Jersey.
