COLLINS STEWART are the 2008 Yorkshire Guernsey Division One champions.

They overcame Le Mont Saint Subaru in front of a packed balcony at Beau Sejour last night in a winner-takes-all match. The reds’ player-coach Jeff Stuart is known for preaching the team ethos and it was no different after his side won by nine points.

‘Tonight was a demonstration of what we do, which is that we roll as a team from one to 12,’ said the big Welshman. ‘It was a great game to finish the season and both teams played well. But we played better.’

Stuart was actually modest about his own achievements. He ended up as the game’s top scorer with 18 points and did a fantastic job shutting out Subaru’s biggest threat, island centre Mike Beausire.
