Sharman: Underestimating Jersey would be 'arrogant and dangerous'

Guernsey have won the Muratti for the last 3 years

Guernsey’s Muratti manager Steve Sharman believes it would be ‘arrogant and dangerous’ to underestimate Jersey in Saturday’s final at Footes Lane.

The Sarnians have won the last three, including a 4-1 rout at Springfield in 2014, and are heavy favourites to do so again.

Not since before the Second World War have the Greens enjoyed such a winning sequence, but they’ve dominated this fixture since the formation of Guernsey F.C.

But Sharman says his team will have to be at their best if they want to continue their excellent form against Jimmy Reilly’s young squad.

There certainly isn't complacency, Jersey will come across as a group that have been hurt by the last three years and an animal that is hurt is very very dangerous.

I think it would be arrogant beyond belief (to see it as a case of how many) first and foremost you win the game, however you do that - that's the most important.

I would never be arrogant enough and the players would never be arrogant enough to think is about how many - it absolutely doesn't come down to that.

– Steve Sharman, Guernsey’s Muratti manager
