Jersey fears confirmed as two points are docked over registration

AS had been expected, Jersey RFC have been deducted two London South Division II points for fielding an unregistered player in a match earlier this season.

The Rugby Football Union who say they did not receive the league registration of Rory Steel, seem to have taken some responsibility for a share of the administrational problem, or at least in not immediately spotting and informing the club of the error, as they have not docked points for the three s ubsequent appearances by the player.

Jersey are still top of the London South Divivion II table, with a two-point advantage and clear points difference, remaining one of the hot favourites for promotion having won their seventh match on Saturday to maintain a 100 per cent playing record.
