Horsham V Jersey U13 Boys

The u13s left Jersey in high hopes off the back of an impressive number of wins after being promoted into the next group after Christmas.

Arriving at Horsham the team were ready for what turned out to be a very competitive match.

In the first half Horsham came out strong scoring 2 quick tries being dominant up front, great ripping of the ball and shipping out wide. Jersey fought hard with 2 clear opportunities themselves but unfortunately could not break a solid Horsham defence.
Jersey entered the break three times down but still full of confidence and determination.

The second half started as free flowing as the first ended but Jersey had regained their structure and composure with some big runs and drives from the forwards and the backs executing some impressive training ground moves.

Horsham again played to their strengths which resulted in them getting around our defence and scoring another two tries. As the game entered the last 10mins Jersey continued to fight on with their passion and commitment resulting in a breakaway try for Teddy Wilson, who was voted man of the match by Horsham.

Moving into the final 5 mins the Jersey forwards dominated more upfront and made two impressive breakthroughs with Noah O’Brien driving over the final 5 metres for Jerseys second score.

Jersey came up against a well organised Horsham side leaving it all out on the field in a game that could have easily swung the other way.

We would like to thank our main sponsor, Santander International for their continued support as well as Jersey Sport for travel grant funding.
