Hearse backs his batsmen to perform

DAVE HEARSE is confident that Guernsey will put their recent batting woes behind them in the ICC European Division Two Championship which begins today.

The island side have been less than impressive with the bat this season.

It culminated in the inter-insular at Grainville, where the Greens were bowled out for just 119, which Jersey knocked off to retain the trophy.

But Guernsey manager Hearse (pictured) said his side would score runs in the tournament which is being held in the island.

'We've got a good team,' he said at the weekend. 'We've had a dip in form with the bat, but I'm 100% sure that that will be turned around next week.'
