Jersey

The Channel Island of Jersey lies 100 miles from the south of England and just 14 miles from the coast of France. Jersey offers a blend of British and French influences, a fascinating and complex history, and a stunning coastline and landscape.

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.

Testimonials

''I wanted to officially thank ISL Football Touts for putting on the weekend's activities which were really perfect in every way. It would seem I'll be lynched if we don't organise exactly the same trip for the club next year. Get our name down!'' Jon Twist, Old Boltonians

''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.
