Guernsey's basketball team enjoyed a clean sweep in last weekend's inter-insular clash with Jersey.

Guernsey came out on top in the under-17s, under-21s and the women's matches, with the senior team completing the rout by winning 62-59.

Guernsey's Jeff Stuart said: "It's very satisfying coming back with a 4-0 record for us in the four games.

"It's testament to the hard work of all of the players and the coaches and how hard everyone has prepared for it."

With basketball still a growing sport on the Bailiwick, Stuart believes the results point to a golden future for Guernsey's team.

He told BBC Guernsey: "The under-17s did a great job and it was a vey convincing win for them in the first game of the day.

"The women carried that on by putting a very heavy score line on their Jersey opposition and the under-21s played a great game as well

"Basketball has grown a lot in Guernsey over the last five to 10 years and I think that we're a sport that is still on the up, still developing, but working very hard to develop and that showed."
