Jersey remain unbeaten in London Two South after 18 matches

Chris Dodd scored for Chobham in the second minute and Andy Walsh converted before Jersey hit back through a Jonny Swift penalty.

Winger Ryan Morgan scored a try after 25 minutes to leave the island club ahead 8-7 at half-time.

That one point proved enough for Jersey as both teams each went on to score another converted try and penalty.

Kiwi Nick Buckley, on his debut for the island club, went over the line four minutes after the interval and Swift converted.

Both teams lost players to the sin bin and a number of penalties were missed in the swirling wind.

Eventually one made it over the bar for each team and the score was 18-10 for a tantalising final 10 minutes.

Chobham's pressure brought a pushover try for Corey Kennett, which Walsh converted, leaving the 1,000-strong crowd at St Peter to face an agonising seven minutes of injury time.

As Jersey held on to their single point lead and tucked their season's 17th London Two South victory under their belts they remained division leaders by two points.

Jersey's Graham Bell said although his team had been making things hard for themselves in their recent matches, he couldn't have asked for more from them against Chobham.

"From one to 15 every guy who came off the bench gave an absolutely brilliant performance and everyone stuck together," he told BBC Radio Jersey.

He is confident the island club are well prepared for their crucial match at second placed Haywards Heath on Saturday 8 March.

"It's the biggest two weeks, I think, of the club's history and we've got through one and one more to go. We can definitely do it again next weekend."
