GUERNSEY scored a 42-point win on home soil as the cream of the Channel Islands secondary schools did battle.

Restricted to just two years – under-14s and under-15s – the two islands won two categories apiece but thanks to the heavy dominance of the Sarnian under-15s Guernsey comfortably took the overall trophy.

Individually, the best performance came in the Year 8 boys where Josh Cowdrey set a new meeting record of 1.69m in the high jump, beating the old mark by 2cm. La Mare’s Cowdrey also won the triple jump and in the same year Grammar’s David Campbell notched a middle-distances doubles.

The Guernsey boys led Jersey through most of the afternoon, but only just, and then had a disaster in the relay allowing the Caesareans to nip in for a two-point victory.
