It is all square against in overall Corcuera Cup wins after Jersey beat Guernsey by eight points to win the 2024 edition.
Established in 2021, the cup has now been played four times, with the home side victorious on each occasion.
There were 64 matches across four categories in Jersey - Men's Open, Ladies' Open, Men's Vets and Ladies' Vets Guernsey's ladies squads both won their respective groups.
Jersey Padel team co-captain Bero Bobus was elated with his team's triumph: "I'm so happy that we were able to bring the Corcuera Cup home after it has lived in Guernsey for the past year.
"The scoreline 36-28 looked comfortable but, in reality, that's only a four-match difference and there were several games that were very close, so it could've easily gone the other way."
In a sign of how tight the overall context was, eight of the 64 matches were decided on Champions Tie Breaks.
Jersey Men's Veterans convincingly beat Guernsey, dropping just four of 16 contests.

The Sarnian duo played five tie-breaks across their fixtures, a testament to the competitive nature of their bracket.
The final Ladies Vets score was 9-7 to Guernsey.
