Guernsey has a long rivalry with fellow Channel Island Jersey playing an annual encounter against each other known as the inter-insular match. The most recent encounter in 2006 saw a 15 run victory for Guernsey, who have now won the encounter five consecutive times, although have a long way to go to match Jersey's run of ten consecutive victories from 1992 to 2001.[1] They made their debut at the European Championship in 2006, and finished in 5th place in Division Two, the tournament being won by Norway. They will remain in Division Two in 2008.
