This week’s episode of The Cool Down reflects on a dominant weekend in Jersey, headlined by a stunning Women’s Muratti victory at Springfield Stadium and Jersey cricket winning in Cyprus.
Jersey dismantled Guernsey 6-1 despite the visitors competing three tiers above them in the English football pyramid. Leah Morris and Roisin Flynn gave the hosts a deserved two-goal lead before captain Holly Sundby struck twice after half-time to put Jersey firmly in control.
Ruby Smith briefly responded for Guernsey, but late goals from impressive duo Shana Dolbel and Anita Tavares capped a memorable afternoon for the hosts, with Tavares contributing three assists alongside her goal in a standout display.
Elsewhere in football, St Paul’s continued their remarkable season by lifting the Jeremie Cup with a 3-1 victory over St Martin’s in Guernsey.
Walking football also enjoyed another strong weekend, with Jersey’s over-50s and over-60s both reaching the Nations Trophy Cup finals.
In local cricket, Jersey secured another important victory over Guernsey by four wickets, while Division 1 and Division 2 fixtures across the Island produced several close encounters.
In the pool, Filip Nowacki continues to impress on the international stage as he becomes the first British swimmer to break one-minute in all four strokes.
Basketball also features heavily this week after Jersey’s under-18 side defeated Guernsey 71-47, while the under-21s overcame Luxembourg and the under-16 girls also secured inter-island success.
Plus, Oliver Kidman reflects on his muay thai debut at the latest Blood Fitness event, and Fixture Forecast returns with Archie losing his early lead in the cricket predictions standings.
