STOKES LEADS GUERNSEY TO ICC WORLD LEAGUE DOUBLE

St Cross Symondians all-rounder Matt Stokes has played the lead role in helping his native Guernsey to win doubles over Vanuatu and Tanzania in the ICC World League Division 5 tournament in Jersey.
Bowling medium-pace, he took 2-23 as Vanuata (an island in the Pacific Ocean) were restricted to 127-7 - a total Guernsey polished off, with Stokes making 34*.
