SPORTS fan Sandra Woods will fly the flag for Leigh at the Commonwealth Games medal ceremonies.
She will swop the world of accountancy to be a bearer at the Manchester Games which start on July 25.
Leigh-born Sandra who works for Wigan Council's education department financial services team, has won the high profile volunteer job with Crew 2002.
She went through a election interview before being asked to join one of the medal ceremony teams, and recently attended a volunteers' event attended by Prince Edward.
She said: "I thought it would be great to be a part of such a wonderful event so I applied to be a volunteer.
"I'm a fan of most sports but it would be nice to see some of the athletics
'It's a once in a lifetime experience and all I can say now is let the games begin"
