GUERNSEY will be looking to continue their inter-insular dominance at Beau Sejour tomorrow – but men's coach Adam Farish insists his side are not favourites.

Jersey make the trip for a busy day of action that features under-17s, under-21s, women's and men's clashes, which Guernsey are defending champions in all except the under-21s.

That comes off the back of Fort Regent wins a year ago that made it four senior men's victories in succession and in the case of the women, took their unbeaten run to 18 years.

And while women's coach Patrick Ogier admits his side are big favourites to further extend a run that last saw them lose in 1999, his colleague Farish is more guarded.

'I wouldn't say that either side should be regarded as favourites because it is an inter-insular that I expect to be like most years – a titanic tussle,' he said.
