Richardson impresses Jersey boss after Guernsey display
Jersey boss Paul Hutchison says George Richardson has done his best to force his way into the side after his five-wicket haul against Guernsey. The 20-year-old tore into the Sarnian batters with figures of 5-38 as Guernsey were bowled out for 150 in 43 overs. Jersey went on to reach their target in just 25.2 overs to record an eight-wicket win away from home. "He's been on the edge of the squad for a while, he's been chomping at the bit to get in," Hutchison told BBC Radio Jersey. "He was in Holland with us and he's been part of the A team stuff that we did over in England in London probably six weeks ago. "So he's really been pushing hard and he impressed with the way he went about his business. "He kept it pretty simple and that was enough." Richardson was part of Jersey's squad at the recent T20 World Cup qualifiers - but did not play a game as the islanders registered a historic win over Scotland but finished one place off making the 2026 T20 World Cup. But Richardson could well feature in the ICC Challenge League tournament that the island will host later this month. Jersey top their division after the first round of 50 over matches and would progress to the next stage of qualifying for the Cricket World Cup if they can top the group after the final round next year. "I think we're in a healthy place, the competition for places is strong," Hutchison said. "We've got a tournament starting in just under two weeks and we can pick 14 and I'm probably picking from a very strong 20 of the inner circle. "So there's going to be lads out there who are going to be disappointed. "But ultimately, if I've got those kinds of headaches, then Jersey's in a good spot, it's better than the other way around."

Jersey cruise to eight-wicket win over Guernsey
Jersey cruised to an eight-wicket win over Guernsey in the 50-over inter-insular at the KGV. The win was the fifth Jersey's men have got over Guernsey in all formats this season as they warm up for the ICC Challenge League A tournament they will host later this month. Batting first, Guernsey restricted the hosts to 150 all out off 43 overs, as George Richardson returned impressive figures of 5-38 off his 10 overs. In reply Jersey needed just 25.2 overs to reach 152 as Harrison Carlyon hit 85. Jersey showed their intentions from the opening delivery when Lucas Barker was caught by Charlie Brennan at square leg off Julius Sumerauer for a first-ball duck. Barker's fellow opener Ben Fitchet was bowled for nought by Richardson in the next over to leave Guernsey on 4-2. Matt Stokes and Martin Dale Bradley put on 31 for the next wicket before Stokes was bowled by Richardson for 13 to leave Guernsey on 33-3 off 5.5 overs. Richardson dismissed Guernsey skipper Ollie Nightingale for a single two overs later before Bradley fell victim to Sumerauer for 28 to leave the Sarnians on 49-5 off 13 overs. Tom Nightingale and Ben Ferbrache steadied the Guernsey innings with a 43-run sixth-wicket stand before Richardson bowled Nightingale for 23. Ferbrache went on to make 29 off 64 balls before Harrison Carlyon trapped him lbw to leave Guernsey on 118-5 with 16 overs to go. Ninth man in Luke Bichard showed some resistance with a 39-ball 29 that included the only six of the innings, but Guernsey were bowled out for 150 off 43 overs. Jersey - who had beaten Guernsey in their T20 inter-insulars and in the T20 World Cup qualifiers - were in no mood to hang around as they put Guernsey's bowlers to the sword. Opener Nick Greenwood went for 20 after Adam Martel trapped him lbw, but Carlyon and Glamorgan star Asa Tribe came together to put on 108 for the second wicket in 19 overs. Carlyon hit 12 fours and two sixes in his 80-ball knock before he was caught by Tom Nightingale off Charlie Forshaw's bowling. Tribe went on to score an unbeaten 41 off 52 balls as Jersey kept their unbeaten run over Guernsey going for another year - Guernsey have not beaten Jersey over 50 overs since 2015.
