Duo earn two tilts at British Isles titles

In the triples, they line up with experienced skip Cyril Renouf, who guided them through their semi final against Scottish champions from Bainfield, skipped by junior international Paul O’Donnell, yesterday morning.

There was only one team in it, as the Jersey trio opened up a 12-2 lead after eight ends, and sped to a 21-6 result in just 16 ends to set up a final clash with the English champions, from Blackpool.

The Jersey quartet, which has a familiar look to it, has Nixon and Lowery at the front end, with Jamie “Snapper” MacDonald and Thomas Greechan looking very much in charge at third and skip.
