Muratti 2013: Jersey can upset Guernsey, says Dave Kennedy

Jersey coach Dave Kennedy is confident his side can upset Guernsey in next Saturday's Muratti.

He is undaunted by having a squad that helped and the FA Vase semi-finals.

"I've got a lot of confidence in these lads and rightly so," Kennedy said.

"This squad of players has a little bit of everything, we've got pace, we've got steel and we've got creativity," he told BBC Radio Jersey.

"But we're going to go over there against a team who will be very well organised and it's going to need us to be at the top of our game."

Jersey have had their best-ever preparation for the annual grudge match, having as well as friendlies against the likes of and an Essex and Suffolk Border League XI.

"The big thing for me is as a coach is that when we're doing the team talks on the tactics board, we're not telling the players anything new because we've had the players in a lot more this year," said Kennedy.

"Added to the matches, we've had them in a lot more training-wise so the players are not coming into an environment that's different to them for a Muratti.

"This is what they're used to, they know what we expect of them, and it's just great at this time of the season to pay a little bit more attention to detail rather than start from scratch, so most certainly we'll be more organised than ever before."
