Match Report: Jersey U12 vs Burgess Hill Rugby Club
In a thrilling encounter, the Jersey U12 rugby team showcased their attacking prowess against Burgess Hill Rugby Club. The first half was a masterclass in offensive rugby, with Jersey racing into a commanding seven-try lead. Zac Howell, Magnus Howe, Nick Barnes (2), Mylo Leach, and Harrison Saunders (2) all crossed the try line, with fluid backline moves creating ample space for the team to exploit their pace.
Nick Barnes was instrumental in securing possession through excellent ruck work and tackling, allowing Isaac Kent to distribute the ball wide at every opportunity. Man of the Match, fly-half Lochlan O’Brien, orchestrated the attack with his precise passing and strategic right-footed kicks, stretching the Burgess Hill defense to its limits.
Despite pulling some players in the second half, Jersey continued to dominate, extending their lead to 10-0. Zac Howell added another try from fullback, while Ashton Walls darted through the centers, and substitute Rueban Fitzpatrick demonstrated his skills in forward play to also score.
Burgess Hill, however, showed resilience and determination. Following a motivational team talk from their first team captain, they scored three impressive tries in the spring sunshine, including a length-of-the-field effort that showcased their potential. The score would have been closer if it not for the tenacious tackling of winger Harrison Saunders and some excellent mauling by Toby Mallet and Mylo Leach.
In the end, it was a well-deserved victory for Jersey U12, marking a successful conclusion to their away games this season. The team now looks forward to the upcoming spring festival on the island and the prestigious Siam Cup.
