There were also moments to forget as far as Guernsey's bowlers were concerned, with big defeats in the women's triples and men's senior fours, and a remarkable 39-4 reverse in the men's fours.

But, after Merrien overcame a feisty challenge from precocious Irish teenager Chloe Watson to win 21-12 and the 17-year-old Harvey had sneaked home, 21-20, against Irish prospect Scott Jess, it was time to concentrate on the positives.
