The holders won their opening match on Saturday 2-0 against the Isle of Wight before going down 3-0 in a physical encounter to the Isle of Man on Sunday. The latter team won the tournament courtesy of Friday’s 1-0 victory against the Isle of Wight.
Jersey manager Tony Hoyland said: ‘When knew it was going to a challenging tournament against physical teams; it’s what we expected and we got little protection from the referee against the Isle of Man and that was disappointing.
‘We were beaten by the Isle of Man’s tactics; they kicked us off the park in the first ten minutes and at one point we had three players on the floor in a heap in different areas of the pitch after the official allowed play to continue when it should have been stopped for infringements.’
