Reds Suffer Heavy Defeat

Monday, 28 January 2019 08:09

Jersey Reds have lost away to London Irish 27 - 3.

The game against the league leaders and promotion favourites was shown live on Sky Sports.

But Harvey Biljon's men - who remain the only Championship side to have beaten London Irish this season - couldn't repeat their 17-14 success of November.

Speaking to Channel 103 before the match, the Reds' Director of Rugby said he thought the Exiles would be out for revenge.

Jersey Reds next game is at home to Cornish Pirates in the Championship Cup quarter-final on Saturday at 2pm.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that the 2019 Siam Cup will take place on Saturday 11th May.

All four games will take place in Jersey at the Stade Santander International.

Harvey Biljon's side will try to regain the cup from Guernsey, after losing the showpiece last year for the first time since 2009.

The schedule:

10.30 - Nash Cup (veterans)
12.15 - Ladies Siam
2pm - Fallaize Cup (2nd teams)
4.30pm - Siam Cup
