The big guns of the Royal Guernsey had too much firepower for the visiting La Grande Mare Douit Dodgers in yesterday’s final at L’Ancresse, winning 14-7 in the two foursomes and two singles, plus bonus points format.

‘We’re really chuffed, it’s another trophy in the cabinet in what has been a really good season for us,’ said Royals captain Tom Le Huray.

‘We have lost only two matches, including here to La Grande Mare in the round-robin of this competition, so this was a bit of revenge.’
