France next up for unbeaten Sarnians

GUERNSEY made it two wins in two days in the ICC European Division Two Championship with victory over Germany yesterday.

On Monday the island side had few problems in taking care of Gibraltar at Port Soif.

They followed this up 24 hours later with an eight-wicket win over Germany at the College Field.

'Played two and won two,' said Guernsey manager Dave Hearse.

'Hopefully we can kick on and get something serious out of this tournament.'

The rain played havoc with yesterday's proceedings.

At one point the teams were off the field for two hours and had an early lunch as the heavens opened.

Germany had won the toss and batted first.

With the rain interruptions, their innings was reduced to 45 overs and in the face of some excellent Guernsey bowling and fielding, their low total of 121 all out was re-calculated by the Duckworth-Lewis method to 116.

In reply, Lee Savident, with 46 runs, and Jeremy Frith, 41 not out, saw the Sarnians home.
