It's now eight Trinity Shields for St Lawrence, with one shared in 1935

St Lawrence have won Jersey's Trinity Shield with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Grouville at Springfield.

Marc Nightingale gave Grouville the lead with an early goal, before Ross Crick levelled things up with an equaliser on the stroke of half-time.

The winner for St Lawrence came 11 minutes into the second half, as Crick headed home to give his side the lead.

St Lawrence boss Peter Flambard told BBC Jersey: "I'm made up for the boys, we played the best stuff tonight."

The victory was the first time St Lawrence have won the Shield since 1989.

Flambard continued: "We had a nervous first five minutes, but other than that I thought we deserved to win it at the end of the day.

"We gave a few silly things away when we were under pressure in the second-half but our keeper's not really had too much to do at the end of the day.

"It is a worthwhile competition and we'll be back next year hopefully to defend it."
