<h1>Hat-tricks Jeffreys make their debut for Guernsey in the Cherry Godfrey Cup</h1> Sisters Emilie, Hollie and Millie Jeffreys, 16, made their Guernsey debut in the Cherry Godfrey Cup, contributing to the team's third place finish in the tournament. The Jeffreys are the first hat-tricks to play for the island's representative team. Guernsey lost 3-1 in the semi-final to Isle of Man, while in the third place final they beat Isle of Wight 5-1. In the match against Isle of Wight, Millie provided three assists for the goals of her teammate Heidi Dawber, who pulled off a hat-trick to put Guernsey 0-3 up after 32 minutes. With just minutes left in the first half, Thea Broadhead closed the gap for Isle of Wight with a long-range shot. In the second half, with 18 minutes left, Emilie set up Millie who scored the fourth goal for Guernsey. Finally, in the 90th minute Emilie scored the fifth goal, closing the game 5-1 for Guernsey. Interestingly, in this match the Jeffreys sisters participated in all of the team's goals: 3 assists for Millie and one goal for Emilie. “I can't even remember a time when I haven't wanted this opportunity and it's finally here,” Emilie told BBC Radio Guernsey. "It was a special moment for us, we always wanted to have this opportunity and for all three of us to be on the pitch at the same time is something special."

"This is just the beginning"

The Jeffreys sisters will soon leave the island to join York City's academy, where they will study and at the same time follow the path to joining the club's women's team. “The goal is to become professional soccer players,” Hollie said. "Going to York is a big step towards that goal and we hope it helps us improve further as players. There are a lot of people behind us who have helped us - coaches and staff who have helped us improve - and we hope to continue to improve every day." Millie added: "I can't wait to get started. This is just the beginning, what lies ahead is going to be really special and I can't wait."
