MICK LE PREVOST had to make two scouting trips to Jersey ahead of tomorrow’s Upton.

Last weekend, the North boss went and watched Trinity play Grouville.

Needing just one point to win the Coca-Cola Combination Premiership, Trinity surprisingly lost 2-0.

With the league going to a play-off decider at Springfield on Tuesday evening, Le Prevost had to book a flight again to witness St Paul’s defeat Trinity to take the title and book their place in the Upton to face Guernsey champions North.

‘I watched Trinity and I was hoping to play them to be fair, but it didn’t work out,’ he said.

‘I’ve learnt a lot from watching St Paul’s. I’ve picked up a few good things.’

Going by this season’s records book, it is quite clear why Le Prevost would rather have played Trinity at Springfield.

The chocolate-and-blues did lose 2-0 to Trinity in the first round of the Deloitte CI Champions League in September, but they then went down 5-0 at the hands of St Paul’s in the Wheway.

However, Le Prevost is not looking too much into that result.
