Another first as Howard joins Ponte in island team

GUERNSEY will be represented by two girls in the Junior Inter-Insular for the first time this month.

Debutante Abigail Howard will join Aimee Ponte, who was first selected two years ago, in the Sarnian side for the clash with Jersey at L'Ancresse from 25-26 August.

Following a change to the rules of the annual match, girls will play off red tees when competing off scratch against the boys, who are off the white tees.

In total, Guernsey include four debutants with Jamie Cotran, Ivan Donaldson and Matt Pearson the others.
