Many of Jersey's side have had experience playing in the English league system with Jersey Bulls

Jersey's Football Combination has won the FA Inter-League Cup after they beat the West Cheshire League 5-1.

Jersey made a great start as they went 3-0 up inside the first 15 minutes.

Jake Prince's fourth-minute goal on the counter attack was followed by a Luke Campbell penalty after nine minutes and a Sol Solomon goal five minutes later.

Solomon got his second after an hour, West Cheshire pulled one back with 15 minutes to go before Luca Margaroli scored a 90th-minute header.

It is the second time the island's league side has won the competition after they beat the Isle of Man 2-1 in Douglas to win the title in 2012.

"The players have been amazing all the way through the competition and they deserve all of this," said Jersey manager Martin Cassidy after the game at St George's Park.

"It was such a beautiful pitch to play on, it took some legs to get throughout the match but we got everything right, our changes were good and we scored at the right times.

"When you think we only get them for a short space of time, a huge credit has to go to the clubs, the managers, the coaches and the players themselves for keeping themselves at such a good level of fitness all the way though Covid.

"We were by far the best team, in this competition and we've proved that in every round. To come and make West Cheshire look pretty ordinary in the first half, full credit to us"
