Jersey haggle on weekend format

THE format of this year's Channel Island Championships are still unclear as discussions are ongoing between the cricket boards of Guernsey and Jersey.

It comes as GCB chief executive Mark Latter has admitted that local weekend cricket is in need of major restructuring.

He had hoped that this season's CI tournament would be one 10-team league, playing each other once in a straight league format between May and September.

But with Jersey unable to agree to that due to their existing commitments in 2012, the same format as last summer was seen as the next-best alternative from a Sarnian perspective.
