Guernsey U11 Mixed v Jersey U11 Mixed

Jersey U11s put in a superb performance to beat Guernsey 9 - 4 in a dramatic Siam Cup match played in extreme conditions. Torrential rain turned the pitch into a series of puddles, and a lightning strike midway through the game forced a temporary halt, but both teams showed great resilience throughout.

Guernsey struck early to go 1 - 0 up, but Jersey kept their composure and responded with confidence. Even after the weather interruption, the team stayed focused and continued to play proper rugby - moving the ball coast to coast, putting in big tackles, and showing how much they’ve developed over the season. Despite the conditions, their handling, rucking, and teamwork were excellent, ultimately allowing them to pull away and secure a well-deserved win.

The development team also delivered an outstanding performance, running out convincing 16 - 2 winners. It was a real squad effort, with every player contributing and showing the same spirit, skill, and progression that has been built throughout the year - an excellent reflection of the strength and depth across the whole group.
