It’s a big weekend on home soil for Jersey sport, with Jersey Bulls finally back at Springfield and Jersey RFC hosting a men’s and women’s double header at CoinShares Park.

Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel look ahead to the action, starting with the Jersey RFC Double header against Dorking.

Over at CoinShares Park, Jersey RFC’s men and women both face Dorking, with the double header offering a chance to respond after a difficult weekend.

The men welcome back captain Evan Whitson, who has been named on the bench after a frustrating spell watching the club’s injury crisis unfold from the sidelines.

Tighthead prop Talite Vaioleti is also in the mix on loan from Darlington Mowden Park, as Jersey look to get back to winning ways against a Dorking side sitting fifth with four wins from six.

The women are also keen to put last week’s defeat at Medway behind them. Maya Abraham-Steele is set for an exciting first start at number eight, and Taye Boakye-Yiadom’s return provides another boost.

Elsewhere, Springfield’s visitors are third in the table and have made the trip to Jersey twice before, in 2022 and 2023, with the Bulls still waiting for a win against them.

The Bulls will be looking to put that right after a dramatic 3-3 draw midweek, despite picking up their sixth red card of the season. James Sunley’s stunning strike was one of the highlights – and Elliot is getting his first chance to react to the goal.

There’s plenty at stake, too. A Bulls victory would extend their league unbeaten run to 30 matches, and Archie will be putting his predicted XI on the table ahead of kick-off.

Royals RFC are on the road against Worthing III, while the Evelyn Partners Jets travel to face New Cambell in a clash between fourth and fifth. With Rosie Tonner absent, Jodie Blampied takes over the captaincy for the weekend.

There’s also a packed programme of local football and hockey, from the Wheway Memorial Trophy and Sylvia Spinola Memorial Cup to league fixtures across the island.

Sunday brings junior football, walking football and an Under-18s meeting between St Paul’s and Jersey Wanderers.

And there’s more to come, with Natacha Searson featuring in Saturday’s paper.
