For entertainment, the cup beats the vase...

AFTER a weekend when we won one and lost the other, it would be easy, if foolish, to say that the Siam Cup has become 'bigger' than the Muratti.

I am not prepared to make such a bold statement for fear of being accused of bias towards rugby, even though I unashamedly am.

But it threw up an interesting debate when that exact comment actually came on Tuesday from a colleague across the water at the Jersey Evening Post.It is probably detrimental to have such a discussion because both always have been and always will be main highlights of the Channel Islands calendar.

The thing is, though, that the Siam has taken on much more significance for the casual sports fan, especially those here, because it has become such an even contest in recent times.
