Guernsey’s juniors emulated their senior island counterparts with a victory, by six wickets, over Jersey in the Under 12/13 Jersey Cricket Festival yesterday.
Jersey batted first at College Field and scored 132 for six, with Ben de Figueiredo, 60 runs, continuing his good form aided by Sam de la Haye, who hit 31.
However, the runs came slowly against accurate bowling and good fielding from Guernsey and Jersey will have been disappointed with their final score.

Guernsey scored 133 for four, with D Hooper scoring 30.
Jersey’s Tim de la Haye took three for 21.
