North 2, Bels 1
JEREMIE Cup holders North pulled off a late smash and grab victory against Priaulx champions Bels at Northfield to book another final place.

Their unlikely match winner was 17-year-old professional hope Kieran Mahon, returning to the island for a break after impressing scouts at several professional clubs, while playing for the footballcv academy.

He had come off the bench after 57 minutes to replace Ollie McKenzie, who suffered a suspected broken big toe on his left foot, with North trailing 1-0.
