Cricket: Relegation worries for Jersey following third loss

The Islanders, who beat Italy on Tuesday to keep their dreams of staying up alive, were set a massive target of 313 for victory at The Wright Ground after Bermudian opener Kamau Leverock struck 137. However, they could only reach 227 in reply.

Corey Bisson top-scored with 48 runs off 23 balls after captain Peter Gough went for a duck and Jonty Jenner was caught on six.

Neil MacRae’s side must now beat hosts, and favourites, USA on Friday to have any chance of avoiding immediate relegation back to Division 5.
