Derek Goodwin and Gareth Goodwin will take part in the full bore shooting events at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre this summer and they will be coached and managed by Derek Pettersson, who has competed at previous Commonwealth Games.

Michael Goss, Jeremy Poncet, Murray Middleton and Nevin Middleton will be competing in the 50m prone and 10m air pistol events.

"With our largest ever team for the Commonwealth Games by some margin, we very much look forward to strong performances from all our athletes," said Falkland Islands Overseas Games Association (FIOGA) chairman, Mike Summers.

"We are represented, as we were in Delhi, by badminton, lawn bowls and three disciplines of shooting; full bore, pistol and shotgun.

"The Falklands team has been working hard in training, and has an exciting mix of old hands and new talent across the sports.

"We expect to represent the Falklands, as all our athletes and sportsmen do, with dignity and friendship, and with a strong competitive spirit.

"We hope that the Falklands will get behind our team and that we will represent you with pride."

FIOGA vice-chairman Andrew Brownlee will act as the team's Chef de Mission at Glasgow 2014, which runs from July 23 to August 3.

The Falkland Islands have appeared at every Commonwealth Games since first taking part in Brisbane in 1982 but has yet to win a medal and along with badminton, lawn bowls and shooting they have competed in athletics events in 1990, 1994 and 1998 in the form of distance runners William Goss, Peter Biggs and Hugh Marsden.
