Guernsey’s golfers struggled to read the greens at Les Mielles Golf and Country Club and the hosts followed up the previous day’s 4-0 fourball betterball success to retain the Challenge Trophy.Jersey selector Clive Dobin said: ‘The final scoreline was a little flattering as four of the singles matches went to the final green.

Guernsey had trouble reading the greens and that was to our advantage.’Terry Smith recorded an excellent win against Guernsey’s seniors champion Roy Corbet and overall it was a very good effort from all of our players.’Jersey Golf Union president Mike Weaver presented the trophy to non-playing Jersey team captain Wally Clarke and after congratulating the winners he praised the Les Mielles facility and thanked owner Jonathan Le Brun for all his help with the staging of the event.Singles results (Jersey golfers named first): Terry Smith beat Roy Corbet 3 and 2; Tony Haire bt Mickie King 1-up; Geoff Ramskill bt Richard Vaudin 2-up; Kevin O’Toole lost to Pat McKeary 2 and 1; Vic Bourgoise bt Ken Giles 4 and 3; Bart McCarthy bt Reiner Schimek 2 and 1; Ted Le Gresley bt Jock Tanguy 4 and 3; Barry Thorp halved with Mervin Marquand; Charlie Smith halved with Brian Lucas; Jeremy Turpin bt Colin Riou 5 and 3.
