Jersey rugby coach anticipates tough North Walsham test

Jersey Rugby Club
Jersey will be looking for their good form to continue

Jersey are expecting a tough clash when they host North Walsham in the National League Three on Saturday.

Despite the Norfolk side being in ninth place they have come into a good run of form, holding third placed Bracknell to a 14-14 draw last weekend.

Jersey coach Ben Harvey said: "I think it will be tougher than people expect.

"They've got very good team spirit and are coming to us with a run of form behind them. I am not expecting anything but a tough game."

Jersey are currently nine points clear at the top of the table with just one loss so far this season.

But Harvey knows that makes them the team that everyone in the league will want to beat.

"Now that sides have faced us once they know what to expect," he said.

"I think they'll come here and throw the kitchen sink at us, which makes them very dangerous because they have nothing to lose."

Jersey versus North Walsham kicks off at St Peter at 1400 GMT.
