Guernsey 2, Jersey 3
GUERNSEY failed in their bid to retain the Junior Muratti after they had totally dominated Jersey in the opening stages of yesterday’s big match at The Track.

The home side had gone a goal up within 20 minutes of the start through Sylvans striker Wayne Bishop, but saw the Reds equalise and then take the lead. Guernsey levelled the score at 2-2 in the second half, only for the visitors to grab the lead again – and the victory.

‘A little bit disappointed after the way we showed that we can play in the first 25 minutes – we dominated play,’ said Guernsey’s assistant coach Chris du Feu.
