First use of African wickets proves vital

JERSEY’S hopes of reaching the final of the ICC World Cricket League Division IV tournament were all but over after their first two matches in which they suffered defeats at the hands of Tanzania and Afghanistan.

Lies, damned lies and . . . headlines

HOPEFULLY news that Jersey have got their World Cup Division 4 campaign off to a winning start will be filtering its way back to the Island later on tomorrow, after their opening match against Tanzania.

LAST Friday’s NatWest Cricket Awards ceremony once again bought the curtain down on the league season, meaning for us mortals the end of cricket as we know it for about eight months.

What a time to catch the dropsy

THE Over 40s Trophy continued its ping-pong existence when Guernsey took it back home after defeating Jersey at Grainville last Sunday.

Unbridled joy at a remarkable victory

WHAT a great advert for cricket last Saturday’s ICC European Division 2 final between Jersey and Guernsey was.
