Jersey Reds Win Try Of The Year

Wednesday, 2 January 2019 09:26

Jersey Reds have had a winning start to 2019.

JRFC has won the coveted Sky Sports Try of the Year accolade.

A spectacular effort by Auguy Slowik got 58% of the public vote in an online poll.

The 25 year old scored the try in November when the Championship club beat London Irish 17-14.

Sky Sports included it in its top seven tries of 2018.

Slowik told Sky Sports, "As I got the ball and stepped inside to score, I knew I had finished a great team try... but I honestly didn't think it would be good enough to be Sky Sports' try of 2018!"

Jersey Reds Head Coach Harvey Biljon has described the win as great publicity for the club.
