It's been a big weekend for inter-island sport, as unusual scheduling saw Jersey and Guernsey go head-to-head in both football and rugby on the same day.
Guernsey had a home advantage in this year's Siam Cup at Footes Lane.
Jersey's women won 20-19, keeping the title for the second successive year.
Guernsey's men scored six tries, beating Jersey 35-27 after last year’s loss.
The Spring Insure Siam Cup is the second-oldest rugby trophy in the world and is played for by the Guernsey Raiders and Jersey RFC.
Across the water in Jersey, the islands were battling it out for the men's Muratti Vase at St Helier Springfield Stadium.
269 supporters travelled from Guernsey for the game, and watched their side win 2-1.
Last year, Guernsey beat Jersey 3-1.
The women's game is next weekend.
