Jersey emerged victorious in the latest round of the European GAA League last weekend, beating Guernsey 3-11 to 1-06 in the final. Both clubs had two teams involved in the league along with Brest, and The Hague and Rennes, who joined forces to enter a combined team. Each team played five matches and, with Jersey 'A' and Guernsey 'A' unbeaten after their first four games, the last league game involving them both was deemed the final.

As expected, it turned out to be a hard-fought but entertaining game. The sides were level at half-time 1-04 to 2-01 but in the second half, Jersey took control and deserved their victory.

Meanwhile, last weekend also saw a ten-a-side hurling exhibition involving Jersey and a European representative team. Despite the fact that Jersey proved too strong for the struggling Europeans, it was a competitive game but Jersey ran out easy winners with a 5-17 to 1-10 victory.
