The Reds produced a rampant display to round off their 2021/22 league campaign, scoring 10 tries in overwhelming their Coventry hosts. The 104-point aggregate at the Butts Park Arena was a record for the Reds in their time in the Championship, coming almost exactly a decade after a win at the same ground clinched the National 1 title and promotion to the second tier. Jordan Holgate started the ball rolling when he forced his way over for a try by the posts within four minutes, but the centre was then forced off with an injury and replaced by Scott Van Breda. The home side then took the lead with two scores of their own: hooker Suva Ma’asi from a maul and wing Tom Stanton in the corner. Although Eoghan Clarke and his forward colleagues then delivered a mauled try for the Reds, Cov responded in kind through Ma’asi to regain the lead. Three tries in the last 10 minutes of the half saw the Reds build a decent lead. Harry Simmons claimed the first after a clever lobbed kick by James Mitchell bounced nicely for him near the posts, then Clarke added another mauled effort. Simmons’ second followed a turnover by replacement Wes White and a kick through by Van Breda which his team-mate reached first and dotted down. Looking to reinforce their lead soon after the resumption, the visitors took advantage of errors by their opponents to claim a sixth try through Dan Barnes, only for the Blue-and-Whites to claim their bonus-point try scored by lock James Tyas. Sam Leeming’s first try for the Reds was a beauty as he beat three players in a jinking run to the line, and then another replacement got in on the act as TJ Harris forced his way over in the corner to mark his return from a four-month injury lay-off. The pace of scoring didn’t ease off, with Will Owen claiming another try for the hosts and then Simmons completing his hat-trick following a flowing move down the three-quarters which featured a galloping run by Alex Humfrey and a scoring pass from Dan Barnes that enabled Simmons to finish in the corner. James Martin’s interception gave some cheer to the home supporters, but the Reds had the final word as James Mitchell crossed in the last play. Tom Pittman added two points from the tee after Leeming had earlier registered seven conversions from eight attempts. The match aggregate was well beyond the previous club record in the Championship: 85 points a Rotherham in September 2012, when the Yorkshire side won 54-31, and the same tally at Ampthill in November 2019, when the Reds won 38-47. Ten tries was also a record Championship haul, surpassing eight scored on four previous occasions, including the previous game against Nottingham. And the total points of 66 was another record, surpassing the 56 scored against Yorkshire Carnegie in January 2020 and 52 on two occasions in 2018, away at London Scottish and Hartpury. The result made sure that the Reds will finish fourth in the final standings, with 69 points in 20 games, surpassing the previous best tally of 65 points in 22 games in 2017/18. The Reds will take on Ayrshire Bulls in a friendly this Saturday (k-o 3pm) before starting their Championship Cup campaign with a home fixture against London Scottish on Saturday April 9th (k-o 5pm).

The Reds ran in eight tries to conclude the home part of their 2021/22 schedule in fine style. Visitors Nottingham never gave up, but were run ragged by opponents to whom they have now conceded 24 tries in three games over the past 12 months. After some mixed winter weather for their home outings at Stade Santander International, the Reds were pleased to have some dry, bright conditions, albeit with a southerly breeze blowing across the ground towards the airport. Jersey Reds concluded their home league schedule by putting their visitors from Nottingham to the sword, scoring eight tries and cruising to victory. Nottingham’s task became harder within two minutes of kick-off when wing Joe Browning caught his opposite number Will Brown late after a kick ahead and was yellow-carded following a conference between the officials. The Jersey pack couldn’t capitalise from the resulting attacking lineout, but made up for it soon afterwards thanks to great hands by Steve Longwell, Eoghan Clarke, Macauley Cook and Lewis Wynne, with Cook looping round to take a scoring pass and canter home in front of the big screen. Not long after the second quarter started Eoghan Clarke had claimed his 14th and 15th tries of the season, the first from a well-worked move off a lineout and the second by more traditional means as a maul rumbled over, just after Carl Kirwan saw yellow for foul play. A rolling maul that rumbled 2-plus metres from the restart showed the Reds’ forward power, as did the opening scrum, which did not take place until approximately the half-hour mark. Nottingham’s first spell of pressure was sparked by a powerful run by Callum Allen and then Sam Hollingsworth chipped through for Browning to gather and score. But the hosts had the last word before half-time when successive scrum offences by the Green-and-Whites in the red-zone resulted in a penalty try. Jordan Holgate was arguably the Reds’ most potent attacking weapon and proved the dominant figure as the second half began, handling three times in quick succession before Brown scooted over in the corner within two minutes. There were loud cheers from the home bench as Adam Nicol trotted on 11 minutes into the second half, the Scottish prop making his home debut almost a year after joining the club and suffering a serious injury on making his debut at Castle Park in Doncaster. Skipper Josh Poullet pulled a score back for the visitors, but the Reds finished strongly with three tries in the final quarter. Sean O’Connor scored from a maul after a successful 50:22 kick by Sam Leeming and then Dan Barnes finished a well-executed lineout move. The visitors didn’t give up, in spite of losing several players to injury, starting as early as the fifth minute; but they conceded again at the death when Max Argyle went over from close range for Jersey’s eighth try. Jersey Director of Rugby Harvey Biljon said: “We have been waiting for a game where it all came together and we made some big steps in that direction today. “There’s been some difficult weather around recently and so it was great to have a dry pitch and good conditions so the boys could show what they could do.” Visiting Head Coach Craig Hammond said: “Our set-piece didn’t function – it’s hard to play without a scrum and a lineout, and we were put under pressure by a good side from early in the game.” The Reds conclude their Championship campaign with an away trip to Coventry next Saturday, which will be followed by successive home games: a friendly against Ayrshire Bulls on Saturday March 26th (3pm KO) and the home leg of the Championship Cup first round game against London Scottish on Saturday April 9th (5pm KO).

The Reds went down to just their second league defeat of the season on home turf as Ealing Trailfinders showed why they remain favourites to take the Championship title. An impressive first-half display had left the Reds with a one-point advantage over their old rivals at half-time for the second time this season, but the visitors controlled the game thereafter, winning the key moments and ensuring they’d be taking four points back to London. With a strong westerly wind blowing towards the Investec Terrace, Ealing had the conditions at their backs as Jersey kicked off. Unfortunately the ball went straight out and a penalty from the resulting scrum saw Craig Willis secure three points from the halfway line. The visitors made the perfect start after the Jersey kick-off went straight out. A penalty was awarded from the resulting scrum and Craig Willis used the wind to slot an effortless kick from halfway. Willis added another three points with another well-struck kick from 45 metres but then the Reds struck with their first meaningful attack, using a brace of penalty awards to establish field position and set up a rolling maul finished by Eoghan Clarke. In spite of playing into the wind, as well as driving rain, the Reds were able to stay in the game, primarily as a result of teak-tough defence from all 15 players that made the visitors work hard for every metre gained. At the midpoint of the half Willis stroked over a third penalty, although his fourth and final effort of the half was unsuccessful a few minutes later. A four-point deficit at the break would have been no disgrace for the home side, but in the event they secured the lead from the final phase. The Trailfinders tried to run the ball out of their 22 but a pass was picked off by Jordan Holgate, who showed great anticipation and raced to the line. The resumption brought one of the game’s pivotal moment as the Reds fielded the restart kick and James Mitchell sent a wind-assisted clearing kick upfield from inside his own 22. On another day the ball would have rolled into touch just to the left of the corner flag and given Mitchell’s forwards possession thanks to the 50:22 law, but in the event it bounced to the right just the other side of the corner flag and went dead. With play coming all the way back for a scrum, the Ealing pack drew another penalty, enabling Willis to put his side back in front. The visitors were assisted by a slight easing of conditions as the second half progressed, but also took control their own efforts, with the forwards flexing their muscles and half-backs Willis and Craig Hampson delivering a series of well-judged kicks. After an even penalty count during the first period, the Reds were being forced into indiscipline and this allowed Ealing to gain the field position to claim a try from an attacking lineout, finished by hooker Jan-Henning Campher and converted from the touchline by Willis. The Reds had isolated chances to score during a feisty second half that brought a long lecture to both captains from referee Adam Leal, who later reversed a penalty award when an Ealing player celebrated by patting an opponent on the head. The closest the home side came to scoring was when the ball was spun wide but a pass was intercepted and Ealing were able to clear the danger. Willis added his fifth penalty in the closing stages, enabling his side to hold on in relative comfort until the final whistle, with the home side having nothing to show for a committed display. Jersey Head Coach Rob Webber said: “We were very good into the wind before half-time, but in the second half we weren’t able to play in the right areas, didn’t win any of the 50:50 balls and ultimately the pressure told.” After a shock home defeat to Bedford seven days earlier, Director of Rugby Ben Ward was delighted to see his Trailfinders side bounce back in wet and windy conditions. “When Jersey scored right on half-time, I thought that might be crucial, but we were tactically excellent in the second half,” he said. “We put them on the back foot, and once we were ahead it was difficult for them to attack us because their half-backs weren’t sure whether to kick the ball or run it.” The result saw Ealing move above the Reds into second place, three points behind leaders Doncaster Knights but with two games in hand. The top two meet at Castle Park next weekend, while third-placed Cornish Pirates host the Reds – who dropped to fourth – at the Mennaye Field.
