Guernsey win Junior Muratti for first time since 2012 but Sylvans lose Wheway Cup final

FOUR years after their last triumph, there was Guernsey joy in the Junior Muratti yesterday as the island under-18s edged out Jersey 2-1 at Northfield.

Robbie Legg's fairytale season continued as he netted the second-half winner, just minutes after Jersey's Lorne Bickley had cancelled out Martin Savident's first-half opener.

It meant inter-insular victories in successive years for the numerous under-17s player who made up the team and afterwards coach Martin Scott was proud of his side's efforts.

For a while on Saturday it seemed as though Sylvans' senior players were going to start the inter-island weekend perfectly, as they led St Ouen 2-0 in the Wheway Cup Final at Springfield.

Aaron Ferbrache and Sam Murray had struck as Sylvans closed in on a first Sarnian success in five years, but they were stung as the Caesareans launched a second-half blitz to win 4-2.
