The last day of competition saw difficult conditions with heavy rain and strong winds, but that didn't slow down Jersey's John Pallot who clinched on to bronze in the road cycle race on St Peter Port seafront.
Guernsey's Sam Culverwell won the event with an astonishing lead of over 50 seconds.
The tennis finals were held indoors, to escape the windy conditions.
Jersey's Stuart Parker grabbed gold in the tennis singles, while Natasha Forest took silver in the women's singles.
She told Channel 103 a hard game.
"Lauren Watson Steele played really well, I can't take it away from her.
We've played outside all week so it was difficult to adjust, the conditions were worse outside.
My aim at the start of the week was to get a medal in the singles never mind make a final so I'm happy."
Celebrations started this evening (14 July) as the closing ceremony took place at Footes Lane.
