‘I’M EXPECTING both sides to be way too strong for Jersey this year.’

That’s the message from the island’s under-21s and under-17s coach Adam Farish as he named his age-group squads ahead of this Saturday’s inter-insulars in Jersey.

Despite putting in a lacklustre performance in their league defeat at the hands of Collins Stewart Inferno on Friday night, Farish says he and his number two, Dave Wilson, have been impressed with the under-21s in this year’s Yorkshire Guernsey Division One. The new caps are the combative Chris Simon, Aivars Pilmanis and Tenzin Dakar.
