Frith stays busy to keep cool

IF GUERNSEY are to win back the inter-insular trophy today, a lot will depend on Jeremy Frith.

The Sarnians lost the trophy last season after a tight affair at the KGV.

They had held on to it for five years beforehand and old island captain Andy Biggins was said to have the most photographed armpits in Guernsey sport after the amount of times he was pictured lifting the trophy.

But if they are to be spraying the champagne around this evening at Grainville, Frith is most likely to have had some influence on the outcome.

Coming in at number three, the 30-year-old Cobo all-rounder is the lynchpin of Guernsey's batting and with Gary Rich provides the spin option with his accurate left-arm orthodox.

But Frith does not let the importance of his position in the side get to him.

'I don't feel there's any pressure on me,' he said yesterday.

'I've not had too much time to think about tomorrow which is a good thing as the more you think about it the more pressure you put yourself under.'
