Around 30 rival fans clashed outside McDonald’s and a ‘hard core’ of ten youths was seen fighting on CCTV.

Isabel du Four (68), of St Helier, was in the passenger seat of a car outside Rouge Bouillon School when a gang of Jersey fans began throwing stones, bottles and other missiles at the 50 Guernsey fans who were being given a police escort to the Harbour.

Mrs du Four was covered in glass and left shocked and dazed.

She said: ‘The window just burst in and there was glass all over me.

It gave me a real fright but I was okay.

‘There were hundreds of youths being very aggressive and running everywhere.

I saw about a dozen police but they couldn’t do anything – there weren’t enough of them.

I have lived in Jersey all my life and I have never seen anything like this before.’ Jersey youths were driven away with the help of a police dog as one group of Guernsey fans was escorted from Springfield Stadium via the Robin Hood area, around the ring road to the Parade and down Kensington Place to the Harbour, where they arrived at 5 pm.

Police diverted Jersey youths down back -streets and thwarted their attempts to get to the Guernsey fans.
