logo for the Melbourne Games]]

England at the 2006 Commonwealth Games were represented by the Commonwealth Games Council For England (CGCE). The country went by the abbreviation ''ENG'' and used the St George's Cross as flag and Land Of Hope And Glory as the National Anthem .

Diver Tony Ally bore England's flag at the opening ceremony whilst shooter Mick Gault bore the flag during the closing ceremony, both chosen by a vote of England team managers from a list of nominations.


EXPECTATIONS

England entered these Games, held in Melbourne ; Australia , after playing hosts to the Previous Games in Manchester in Manchester 2002. The medal tally was not expected to be a large as at the 2002 Games, where England had a home advantage and achieved a total of 166 medals including 54 Gold, 51 Silver and 60 Bronze to finish in second place behind Australia. A strong second place in the medal tally was, however, still expected.

The country sent a large team, with competitors taking part in every sport in the schedule. The largest teams were sent in athletics and swimming and it was in these sports, along with cycling and shooting that the team hoped to win most medals. Though there were medal hopes across most sports.
