THE fingernails on Dave Rowlinson’s hands are ready to be bitten down to the quick yet again.

THE future of Guernsey golf is looking very bright following the first inter-insular win on Jersey soil in 30 years.

THE last time Guernsey avoided defeat in Jersey, Dave Rowlinson won the final point of the match to earn a thrilling 9-9 tie at La Moye in 1998.

THE scoreline might suggest otherwise, but Guernsey made Jersey work very hard for their fifth consecutive inter-insular win.

HE MAY be a novice as team captain, but Dave Rowlinson knows exactly what it takes to win an inter-insular.
