'Very ordinary' Greens outbatted and outbowled

JERSEY turned the tables on Guernsey comprehensively as they regained the inter-insular cricket trophy on Saturday.

The nine-wicket win at Grainville was as convincing as the margin of victory suggests and a far cry from the 147-run defeat they suffered at the KGV a year ago against a Jeremy Frith-inspired side.

Guernsey were missing their ill all-rounder this time around, but felt they had enough strength in their side to cope with his loss.

On paper they were right, but on the pitch they were outperformed by a youthful Jersey outfit who showed a maturity far beyond their years.

The home side were disciplined and composed, well led by Peter Gough and in man-of-the-match Ben Stevens they had the outstanding player on show.
