Jersey impress in Uganda before Challenge League

Jersey secured a pair of victories against Uganda A during their warmup fixtures in Entebbe ahead of the upcoming ICC Challenge League A tournament in Kenya. In the initial encounter, the islanders triumphed by nine wickets after restricting their hosts to 118 runs, backed by bowling performances from Ben Ward and Josh Lawrenson alongside half-centuries from Harrison Carlyon and Lawrenson.

During the second fixture, Jersey triumphed by 59 runs as Carlyon and Jonty Jenner contributed with the bat, while Ward claimed five wickets and Toby Britton added two dismissals to dismiss the Ugandan lineup for 143.
