Jersey dominated in a match that saw them pick up the biggest win in a Muratti game since 2013 as they booked a place in the final against Guernsey in May.
Jack Cannon equalled Jersey’s Muratti appearance record as he came off the bench to make a 23rd appearance. He also scored the 6th goal.

Defeat for Alderney at the Arsenal Ground means their 103 year wait for a Muratti victory continues.
Alderney's only goal came from Jamie Blackham, to put the game at 3-1.
For Jersey, Harrison Moon found the next twice, and there were goals for Francis Lekimamati, Karl Hinds, and an Alderney own goal, before Jack Cannon sealed the victory.
It was the first meeting between the islands since 2019 because of Covid.
Jersey will now travel to Guernsey for the men's Muratti final at Footes Lane on 13 May hoping to defend their title and retain the vase.
