St Paul's have celebrated four trophies so far, with another two up for grabs

St Paul's collected their fourth piece of silverware this season, beating Guernsey St Martin's 2-1 in the Jeremie Cup Final at Blanche Pierre Lane.

Craig Leitch gave St Paul's a half-time lead, but a defensive blunder shortly after the break brought things level.

Striker Ross Crick scored the winner with a left-foot volley.

With the Charity Cup and domestic league and cup double already won, the Jeremie Cup makes it four trophies so far, with another two still possible.

St Paul's are in the final of the Wheway Cup, and next weekend's Upton Trophy against Guernsey champions Belgrave Wanderers could see them crowned as Channel Island champions.

For manager Craig Culkin, the Jeremie Cup win was not one of their best performances of the season.

"We did what we needed to," said Culkin. "We added another trophy to the collection.

"We'll re-group later this week, assess the fitness of the players and get ourselves ready for arguably our toughest test of the season against a really good Bels team."

The last laugh of the day had to go to match-winner Crick, voted "St Paul's laziest player" by his own team-mates.
