Parishes of Jersey: Island side beat Chagos Islands but lose to Yorkshire
- Published
Parishes of Jersey suffered mixed results in their first tournament.
The island's Confederation of Independent Football Associations (Conifa) side lost 1-0 to hosts Yorkshire before beating Chagos Islands 9-2 in the Heritage Cup.
Broadie Litchfield's 91st-minute winner saw Jersey lose to Yorkshire.
But they came back in style as Kieran Lester and teenager Tom Harris scored hat-tricks while Karl Hinds got two to beat 10-man Chagos Islands.
Jersey's bid for Uefa status was rejected in February and a group of islanders formed a side to join Conifa instead.
The matches come after the Parishes of Jersey made their debut at Conifa level last October when they beat Yorkshire 2-1 at home.
