He told Channel 103 how he felt:
"I think it's more relief that I had finished. I didn't have to keep pushing. It is one better than Gibraltar. I think I was within a good shot of the win today, but I just didn't have what Josh (Lewis) had today - he was incredible."
There was also silver for the women's triathlon team and and individual silver for Kimberley Garrett.
Jersey's women took silver in triathlon. Guernsey took gold.
The other two silver came in the shooting, bring the tally to five.
Elsewhere, there were mixed fortunes on the football pitch with the men beating Gozo 1-0, while the women suffered a 4-0 defeat to Bermuda.
