Lucas played in Jersey's Muratti win over Guernsey in May

Island Games-bound Mark Lucas was named Jersey's player of the year at the Football Combination Awards.

The St Paul's player finished ahead of Stuart Andre and Craig Russell in the ceremony on Saturday.

He said: "I'm absolutely over the moon to have won, even to have been nominated, I am actually stunned.

"I've got to thank [ex-Jersey manager] Dave Kennedy as well, he's put me in every squad since he's been manager and that's given me so much confidence."

Jorge Marques from Portuguese Club beat team-mate Richard Russell and St Clement's Matt Rawlings to be named player of the Championship.

Sixteen-year-old Libby Barnett of Jersey Wanderers won ladies player of the year, defeating Sam Cavey of First Tower United and previous winner Jess Vieira of St John.
