Jersey RFC have won promotion to National Two level with a 38 -7 victory over Berkshire.
Jersey took the Regional One South Central title with three games to spare, securing a 19th consecutive league win and a third promotion in four seasons.
The win over Bracknell puts the island side back in the national leagues and the fourth tier of the English rugby union system.
The historic moment prompted scenes of celebration at the final whistle:
Amateur club Jersey RFC has won a strong local following since the collapse of the professional Championship winning Jersey Reds in 2023.
Director of Rugby Myles Landick gave his reaction:
"Proud of everyone involved.
"Thank you to everyone that has supported us throughout the whole season. We are not done yet."
Celebrations are set to continue next weekend, when JRFC play Camberley at home.
The final two fixtures of the season are Tunbridge Wells away on 28 March and Wimbledon at home on 11 April.
