Isle of Wight could not keep Jersey from victory

Hosts Jersey have won the inaugural Appleby Women's Football Island Challenge Trophy after beating the Isle of Wight on penalties in the decider.

Jersey took a 2-0 lead through Louise Van Der Vliet and Suzanne Rosser, but goals from Samantha Hayles and Danielle Merrifield forced penalties.

But Jersey won 7-6 on spot-kicks on Sunday after 18 penalties were taken.

Jersey manager Tony Hoyland said: "I'm delighted for the girls, they've worked so hard all year.

He added: "It's just reward for all the work they've put in."

Isle of Wight beat Isle of Man 2-1 on Friday, with Jersey beating the same opponents 3-2 on Saturday.
