Jersey retain Siam Cup while Guernsey Ladies make it five in a row
JERSEY overcame a half-time deficit to successfully defend the Siam Cup at Footes Lane this afternoon.
In the first encounter since the introduction of eligibility rules for the professional Championship outfit in the annual clash, the Reds emerged 33-19, but only after coming from 19-13 down shortly after half-time.
Guernsey scored tries through Cameron Craine, Ned Brown and Sam Whitehead, but were badly hit by the loss of fly half Owen Thomas just before half-time to a suspected fractured ankle.
Earlier in the day, the Guernsey Ladies had retained their Siam trophy with a convincing 41-12 win, running in seven tries in the process.
Guernsey also won the Nash Cup for veterans while Jersey won the second-team Fallaize Cup.
