Jersey have retained rugby's Siam Cup, with a 14-13 victory over Guernsey at Footes Lane.
It was the centenary year of the historic inter-insular.
The two sides met on Saturday (6 November) for the first time since 2019 to battle it out for the second-oldest contested rugby trophy after the Calcutta Cup.
Jersey's coach Myles Landick was delighted to be taking the silverware home.
