Hard fought win over Jersey in league sees Blues 16 A side win first league fixture of the season

Jersey made the trip to Waterhall having flown in the morning into Gatwick.

Brighton were missing a number of players but fielded a strong squad of 22.

The Blues were a little ring rusty in some areas of the game. We lost a bit too much ball in contact and were isolated a few times. The Blues scrum worked well against a far bigger pack.

We basically needed a bit more structure and need to not get carried away with the fancy offload stuff :-)

Jersey were strong on the counter ruck and put some good, punching runs in through their hard working 10 and towards the end of the game had the upper hand scoring two tries in quick succession.

Jersey certainly aren’t a bad side and will beat a few teams this season so a potential banana skin out the way.
