Jersey badminton player Elizabeth Cann retained her English Women's badminton title with a straight sets win over the first seed, Burton's Tracey Hallam. Cann won the first set 21-15 and the second 21-19 in Manchester to lift her third English Women's singles crown.
The match lasted 36 minutes but Cann, 28, told BBC Jersey that it proved every bit as tough as she had expected.
"I knew it wasn't going to be easy before I went on so I knew I had to concentrate all the way," she said.
At the same tournament, Jersey Badminton's head coach Mark Constable reached the semi-finals of the men's singles, going out to eventual winner and number one seed Rajiv Ouseph from Middlesex.
The tie went to a third and final set which Ouseph won 21-13. The match lasted 52 minutes.
