Before an enthusiastic crowd of around 300, the Sarnians put on a breath-taking 284 for seven wickets in their 50 overs to eventually win by 89 runs.
The winning score is believed to be the highest made in the annual fixture but credit to Jersey, they made a brave fight of it before finally falling away in the final eight overs.
Jersey skipper Matt Hague played with an attacking field throughout but he could not stem the flow of Guernsey runs although his bowlers let him down slightly conceding 30 wides and a no ball to Guernsey’s six wides and three no balls.
But it truth it was about batting and hosts were in tip-top form.
