Jersey

The Jersey coastline features majestic cliffs, exposed bays, sandy beaches and rocky coves with fantastic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. Inland you'll find lush valleys, unspoilt countryside and cosy villlage inns.

The island's capital, St Helier, offers tax free shopping, fine restaurants and a lively nightlife with a range of clubs and late night bars to suit most tastes.

''The lads really enjoyed it and the Mayfair Hotel was perfect for us. See you again next year!'' Derry Arnett, Folly Lane Strollers

In Our Opinion

A well established event played at an award winning sports complex, the tournament features Channel Islands, UK and occassionally, International teams. The stunning island of Jersey has a rich and varied history with a mix of British and French influences, and its off shore tax status helps keep prices reasonable. St Helier, the capital, has excellent nightlife including many award winning restaurants.
