It was an incredibly tight affair but eventually the hosts came out with a 21-10 victory. A strong win against Caldy helped to put the Reds back on track but next came their toughest test so far. Doncaster Knights travelled to the island on a windy Friday night and almost claimed a result. With a minute left on the clock, Jersey were 19-12 in front but Doncaster managed to bundle over from close range.
Although they have always been a strong side, the Reds were prone to the odd slip up, especially away from home, last year as they fell to seven defeats in the league last season. This campaign however has been very different. Jersey have come out of the blocks firing and have nine wins from nine matches this season, a record which is only matched by ourselves! Such is the dominance of the two teams that we are both already two wins ahead of third placed Coventry in the league and both on maximum points in Championship Cup Pool 1. WHAT TO EXPECT:The Reds 100% start to the season has seen them put in some dominant performances, as well as winning some tight encounters. Early games against Ampthill, Coventry and London Scottish were all won relatively comfortably, but their first challenge came at the end of September as they welcomed Cornish Pirates to the Stade Santander International.
