Records from the Guernsey Evening Press and the Jersey Post have revealed so far
that the 1st Inter-Insular matches, before the inauguration of the Guernsey Basketball
Association, took place in
Guernsey
over the weekend of Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd March 1969. There were
4 matches.
The men's B team match was played on Saturday at the
Boys Grammar School
. At full time the score was 19 - 19. The Jersey B team eventually won
23-19 after overtime.
On the Sunday the matches were staged at the badminton halls. The Intermediate
men lost narrowly by 13 points to 15. The team (and score) was: D.Legg 0,
J.King 5, A.Staples 6, C.Sheehan 2, P.Babbe 0, C.Le Poidevin 0, K.Babbe 0.
The Juniors followed this game with a resounding 6 - 5 win, yes it is not a misprint,
a 6 - 5 scoreline, all the points coming from one player. The team was: B.Roussel
6, A.Creed 0, S.Nicolle 0, T.Rabey 0, R.Newsom 0, R.McGonnell 0, W.Rugg 0,
P.Le Tocq 0, A.Chivers 0.
The Senior Men's match resulted in an equally close win for
Guernsey
by 35 points to 34. At half time the score was 19 - 10 in favour of the home
side and they went on to outplay the Caesareans, who had an ex Italian professional,
Angelo Azzalli (14 points), playing for them. Some things never change!
The team was: T.Carter 2, J.King 2, T.Le Huray 0, G.King 4, A.Staples 4, R.Quinn
(Capt) 8, E.Menzies 2, D.Budge 2, G.Garland 5, I.Curle 6. What a team effort,
only Terry Le Huray failed to score!
