The match, which was played in front of 3,500 spectators, was also broadcast on Indian television.

Watson told the BBC: "I'm so happy to have won. It is such as honour to win in front of this crowd."

The only Channel Islands medal at the Commonwealth Youth Games put Guernsey into 19th place in the medal table ahead of Northern Ireland and Pakistan.
