Long-distance Muratti

THE Guernsey men's table tennis team have travelled more than 6,000 miles to China – to beat Jersey.

The two islands have been drawn in the same Division Four group at the World Team Championships held in the northern city of Guangzhou and were pulled out of the bag to face each other in the first round yesterday.

But it was the Sarnians who were celebrating afterwards with a memorable 3-1 victory.
