There was a special arrival through Jersey airport yesterday - a piece of football silverware.
Jersey has won the interleague cup after a combination XI thrashed West Cheshire League 5-1 in the final at St George's Park on Liberation Day.
Sol Solomon scored a brace. Jake Prince, Luke Campbell, and Luca Margaroli were the other scorers.
Happy Liberation Day! 🇯🇪 pic.twitter.com/ETVy9kxzsq

It's the first time the JFA has won the trophy since beating the Isle Of Man Football League 2-1 in 2012.
What a brilliant team performance - well played lads! 🇯🇪 pic.twitter.com/DxmcS2wgE9
