Jeffery gets nod

Golfer David Jeffery will win his first cap when Guernsey travel to Grouville for the inter-insular next month.

The reigning four-time La Grande Mare club champion, pictured, was yesterday named by non-playing captain Dave Rowlinson in the team who will be aiming to regain the Challenge Trophy over the weekend of 8-9 September.

'Obviously, I'm very pleased to be asked to play,' the 32-year-old said.

'It was a shame last year when I was asked about my availability that I had work commitments so I had to say no, but that's not to say I would have made the team anyway.

'It is nice to be recognised as good enough to play in a match of this calibre, though.'
