Sport: Hosts Jersey ready for Euro touch-down

Les Quennevais will host a record 54 teams from 14 nations this week as some of the continent’s leading players battle for gold, and with Jersey fighting on four fronts strong hope exists for a memorable home campaign.

Islanders will be challenging for medals in the Senior Mixed, Men’s Over 40s, Men’s Over 45s and Mixed Open tournaments in St Brelade, and the latter are out to add to the European titles won in 2000, 2002 and 2004.

Group-stage matches take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday before event finals on Sunday.

Full event preview in Tuesday’s JEP.
