And it was a victory thoroughly deserved at Swindon Supermarine FC despite Jersey being fortuitous with two of their goals.
Chris Andrews’ shot was deflected for Jersey’s opener and Craig Russell rifled home Jersey’s second after the ball rebounded at his feet following the goalkeeper’s blocked clearance. Substitute Ross Crick completed the scoring with a typical classy finish in the closing minutes.
The Combination’s second consecutive win in their third Systems Cup campaign was again built on the foundations of some fine team play and excellent defensive work.
Combination manager Jon Welsh said: ‘We looked like a team that had played together before and yes we finished worthy winners. The success of the Aland Island Games squad was very much in evidence, there is a fantastic unity among the players and it showed.’
