Tommy was in action at the same time in the Triples final with Graham Thomas and Mike Videgrain. Again playing England, it wasn’t too be and the English ran out 21-7 victors.

A thought as well to the men’s senior Fours who yesterday fell on the last end of the game in the semi final game, great effort lads.

Well done to all players who played for Jersey this week and the ladies last week.  Let’s keep showing we are a nation not to be messed with!!
