JERSEY v ENGLAND 2009

[SirKT]

It had to happen sooner or later, England`s run of success in the Men`s team event has come to an end. By a hefty margin as well.

On paper, the Jersey boys (good show that) looked very strong, moreso than last year, and so it proved. A typical comparison would be like Arsenal putting out their youth side in the Carling cup and then playing their first team against Man Utd (only Utd wouldn`t have lost). The England side, including one new cap in Richard Wooton, still had plenty of experience between them.

I think at the end of the day, we were totally outplayed by a very good team :-/

The scoring system was a point per leg and a point for the total aggregate.

So a 22-11 defeat, quite substantial don`t you think ???
Hopefully, this will be the team they send over to us next year :)

Now the good news ;D

With two new caps in the side Hayley Tunstall & Jenny Abbott, the England ladies showed the men how to do it.

A 12 - 6 victory for the Ladies, but an improved performance from the Jersey women from recent years.

Ambassadeur - Good venue, very comfortable rooms... evening meal here £11 for four courses and coffee, it was absolutely lovely as well as brilliant value.

Great event with two team captains who were behind us all the way !! Thanks Pauline and Kev.

I have my team shirt as I told Paul Sainsbury at the Airport, so who left theirs??

Thanks to all especially all the hard work by the Jersey guys...Appreciated.

Well, it looks like congratulations are in order...........to the England Ladies and to the Jersey Men. ;)
