European GAA Round 3 Results & Upcoming Fixures:
All matches in the latest Round of the European GAA League were played this weekend on Cricket fields in Guernsey.

The teams participating were The Hague, Brest, Renne, while Jersey and Guernsey had two teams each.

Played as one league, every team had fivegames. The Hague & Rennes combined to form one team.
Jersey A had six London Juniors playing for the team and it wasfelt Guernsey 'A' would give them a good game therefore this was set up to be the last game.

As both teams went into that game unbeaten, this game was made the final. The final-score does not reflect the closeness of the encounter, as it was level at half time. The Jersey goalkeeper was outstanding in the second half making six point blank saves, two of which led to a counter-attack which produced scores at the other end.

Guernsey 'A' 1-4 Jersey 'A' 2-1.

It was a hard-fought entertaining final watched by about 150 people. The weather was superb.

On Sunday 6th May a Hurling match-exhibition featured Europe v Jersey (10 a side), and although the European team struggled against a fresh Jersey side, it was however very competitive and watched by about 70 people. It was sponsored by Simply Ireland, a local restaurant.

FINAL: Jersey A 3-11Guernsey A 1--6 (1-4)
