Reigning Jersey champions St Paul's are in the driving seat to retain their Premiership title after Jersey Scottish were surprisingly beaten by St Ouen.

It means St Paul's need just a point from their final game at home to third-placed Jersey Wanderers next week.
If St Paul's are beaten there will be a play-off for the title.
