Jersey Bulls remain top of the league despite dropping points at home, while Jersey Hockey squeezed through a dramatic penalty shoot-out to reach the next round of the England Hockey Championship.

Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel look back on a busy weekend, with the Bulls held to a 1-1 draw by Hayes & Yeading United. It was not their finest performance, but with Bognor Regis Town also dropping points, Elliot Powell’s side remain top by a single point.

There was better news for the Bulls Women, who made it three wins on the bounce with an impressive 7-3 victory over Manorcroft United. Grace Clarke, Poppy Mapplebeck and captain Holly Sundby all scored twice, with Natasha Keen also on target.

Jersey Hockey also had plenty to celebrate after battling past East Grinstead 2’s in the England Hockey Championship.

The sides drew 2-2, with Tom and Pete Millar scoring for Jersey, before the island side prevailed 2-1 in penalty shuffles. Goalkeeper Tyler McGlinchey was the hero, producing a brilliant – and rather unorthodox – display in the shoot-out.

The Evelyn Partners Jets continued their strong form with a 55-42 home win over Blackpool, turning on the style after half-time. Becca Forrest was named player of the match.

Jersey also claimed silver at the Island Invitational Games, losing 57-44 to France in the final after impressive victories over Guernsey and Ynys Môn.

It was a difficult weekend for Jersey Rugby’s men, who suffered a 41-12 defeat away to Esher after a costly display of ill-discipline, including four yellow cards. The Islanders now sit alone at the bottom of the table.

The Jersey RFC Women, meanwhile, were held to a 15-15 draw by Canterbury despite leading 5-0 at half-time.

Away from the results, Archie discusses the opening of The G Court at Millennium Park, a new space for young people to play basketball in honour of Jersey basketball legend Guillaume Hoareau.

There is also an update on Asa Tribe, who was denied entry into St Kitts and Nevis to join the England Lions following his stint with Jersey in Nairobi, amid concerns over an Ebola outbreak.

In local football, Jersey Wanderers and St Clement both booked their places in the JFA Cup semi-finals, with Wanderers beating Trinity 3-1 after extra time and St Clement sweeping aside St Ouen 6-0.
