Jersey have ended the round robin stage of WCL Division Five with a win over Guernsey at the Kinrara Academy Oval.

After Guernsey won the toss and elected to bat first, there was a minutes silence in memory of former Jersey Cricket president Keith Dennis, who sadly passed away yesterday whilst in Malaysia to support the team. The Jersey players wore black armbands during the match.

Guernsey's opening pair of Lucas Barker and Zak Damarell starting the Guernsey innings with a partnership of 55, which ended when Tom Minty had Barker out lbw. Damarell went on to score 43 before he was next out, six overs later with the score on 74.

Oliver Newey and Lee Savident then put on 39 for the third wicket before Savident was out for 18, but that was the last partnership of any substance for Guernsey. Newey went on to score 56 before he became one of five batsman caught by wicket-keeper Ed Farley.

Anthony Hawkins-Kay was the pick of the Jersey bowlers, taking 3-44 as Guernsey were bowled out for 217, their last wicket being a run out from the last ball of their innings.

Jersey's reply was built around two innings - 55 by Ben Stevens and an unbeaten 63 by Dean Morrison. The pair put on a stand of 54 for the fourth wicket. There was a brief moment of panic for Jersey as they closed in on their target and they lost four wickets for 12 runs in 3.3 overs.

That left them in the precarious position of needing to score runs with the number 11 at the crease, but Tom Minty cooly hit the second ball he faced to the boundary to secure the 1 wicket win.

Jersey dedicated the win to Keith Dennis, and they will be hoping to finish the tournament unbeaten when they take on Malaysia in tomorrow's final. Guernsey will go back home having been relegated, but they will hope to pick up a consolation win when they take on the Cayman Islands tomorrow in the 5th place play-off.
