An unbeaten start

TWO highly contrasting victories gave Guernsey the unbeaten start they wanted yesterday in the ICC European Division One T20 Championship.

They sit proudly on top of group A with Italy the other side to record a pair of wins on the opening day.

However, while the home side began with a thumping 10-wicket success against Norway yesterday morning at the KGV, they were given an almighty scare by Croatia at the College Field later in the day before eventually coming through with a valuable three-wicket triumph.

'As I expected, this is going to be a challenging tournament,' said Guernsey coach Andy Cornford.
