Nothing separated Jersey and North Walsham in their third-round clash
|
Jersey and North Walsham shared the points in a 20-20 draw in their London Division One clash on Saturday.
A Mitch Burton penalty gave the hosts a 15th minute lead but North Walsham's Gideon Strydon equalised soon after.
Sam Tuia grounded for an unconverted try and scored again, with Burton converting, to put Jersey 15-3 ahead.
Two tries gave the visitors a second-half lead but Talite Vaioleti's put Jersey back in front, a penalty 15 minutes from time levelled the score.
After the match North Walsham coach Dave Smith was full of praise for his opponents.
He said: "We've got a lot of experience and our lads know how to grind out results, they've been to a lot of tough places and this is as tough as any of them."
Meanwhile Jersey's head coach Ben Harvey thought his side gave the game away.
He said: "They scored just before half-time which was a bit of a gift really, they got their confidence up and came out fighting and got an early try again and that was the game.
"We need to concentrate individually on what we do and make sure we try to improve as individuals."
