Fewer goals cost us - Cassidypublished at 19:03 British Summer Time 27 June 2017

Jersey men's football manager Martin Cassidy said his side needed to be better in front of goal to qualify for the semi-finals.
His side beat Orkney 3-0 this afternoon, but rivals Menorca put six past Alderney to qualify by a single goal on goal difference.
However, Cassidy felt hard done by after his side remained unbeaten in the tournament.
