It's two wins out of two for the Isle of Man at the European Under-19 Division Two Championships.
This afternoon they beat France by 61 runs.
The Island reached a total of 231-7 off their 50 overs, Jack Rowlands top-scoring with 92 and ably backed-up by Alex Stokoe who hit 52.
The Manx bowlers then got to work and dismissed their opponents for 170.
Yesterday the Island beat Italy, but they face a much sterner test tomorrow in the shape of hot favourites and number one seeds Israel.
