Guernsey have the Will to win
WITH injuries having prevented any previous involvement, Will Peatfield is hoping to make the most of a belated inter-insular debut against Jersey tomorrow.
Despite the final XI not being named from the 12-man squad, Peatfield's form with the ball this year in MitonOptimal's double-winning campaign makes him a likely starter at Farmer's.
Although he is still only 23 in what is a young Guernsey side, Peatfield has been in and around the national representative set-up for some time now.
But it is only over the winter of 2013 and into 2014 when he has remained injury-free long enough to push forward his claims to director of cricket Nic Pothas.
'I am delighted to be selected in the 12 and can't wait for the game now, where hopefully I will be picked and can help Guernsey to a win,' he said.
'Everybody who has been chosen in this group have had strong seasons and are in-form, so despite it being a young team, we are confident that we can go and get the job done.'
Tomorrow's match starts at 10.30am at Farmer's Field in Jersey.
