Rugby:Jersey draw London Nigerian in Powergen Intermediate Cup

Wednesday 21st September 2005, 12:00AM BST.

JERSEY Rugby Club have been drawn away to London Nigerian in the second round of the Powergen Intermediate Cup.

The tie will be played on Saturday 15 October and this morning Jersey coach Dai Burton admitted he knew nothing about next month’s opposition.

Burton, whose team won 39-22 at Tottonians on Saturday to put themselves in last night’s draw, said: ‘I know nothing other than they play in London North Two which is the equivalent level to us but they play on the north side of London.

‘They had a good win last weekend against quality opposition, so they will be pretty formidable and we will look forward to the game.

‘Portsmouth lost at the weekend against unfancied opponents, so I suppose it will be down to how seriously each club wants to progress in the competition.’
