The Sarnians got off to the best possible start, despite falling behind early on, as they defeated Jersey’s ladies 3-2 in the opening match.
Jersey went ahead within the first five minutes before Guernsey came back and pushed on to grab a 3-1 lead. Jersey replied straight away but it was to be merely a consolation.
This meant that, with Guernsey leading 1-0 on games, then the Island men had to win to keep Walkers Jersey in with a chance of the overall inter-insular prize.
