Jersey's manager says his players were 'brilliant' and deserved their Muratti victory.
The match at Footes Lane finished goalless after extra-time.
But two penalty saves from goalkeeper Euan Van der Vliet helped Jersey win 3-1 over Guernsey on spot-kicks.
It was left to substitute Karl Hinds to clinch victory.
Boss Martin Cassidy told Channel 103 he was always confident the team would rise to the occasion;
"It was a dramatic match, and an absolute emotional roller-coaster in the penalties but the players got there in the end, and full credit to them. It was exciting to win in the way that we did, but it was exhausting I have to say."

It was Jersey's fourth Muratti win in five years.
