Versus Finance Invited to the Close Finance Muratti Weekend

A proud weekend celebrating Channel Islands football heritage and community partnership.

Versus Finance was delighted to be invited by Close Finance CI — headline sponsors of the Muratti — to attend the 2022 Muratti Weekend at Springfield Stadium, Jersey.
The invitation included a formal lunch and attendance at the Jersey FA’s Muratti fixture, reflecting the close ties within the local financial community.

The men’s final ended Jersey 1–0 Guernsey, sealed by a second-half header from Lorne Bickley. Attendance was around 1,600 supporters, underscoring the fixture’s enduring importance across the islands.

The Muratti Cup remains a cornerstone of inter-insular sport, uniting Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney in a rivalry that dates back to 1905 — with recent editions supported under Close Finance CI’s multi-year title partnership.

As a Jersey business, we were pleased to participate — recognising that community, discipline and partnership aren’t just match-day slogans; they’re the building blocks of a resilient local economy.
Our thanks to Close Finance CI and the Jersey FA for the invitation and hospitality throughout the weekend.
