Argylls win first CI title to add to the GCA crown

ARGYLLS completed the double on Saturday when they were crowned the new Channel Islands cricket champions.

The reigning GCA Championship holders added the Investec CI League title with a four-wicket win over Old Victorians at the KGV thanks to another fine all-round performance.

However, the unlikely hero was Tom Magson, who produced the ideal innings to anchor what was at times a nervy run chase, carrying his bat to finish unbeaten on 65 to be deservedly rewarded with the man-of-the-match tankard.

'I know the players we have are very good players. We are a young side and we all get on really well so we have a really good core to the team,' said stand-in captain Will Peatfield who, for the second week in a row, hit the winning boundary. We knew we could do it talent-wise, but it's still all pretty surreal now that we have won it.'
