Jersey Rugby Club off to Twickenham

Thursday 29th April 2010, 12:00PM BST.

The Jersey Rugby team celebrate after winning a place in the league final at Twickenham (00943433)

Jersey Rugby Club have earned an historic date at Twickenham by defeating Taunton 65-14.

The team swept aside the South West National III champions at St Peter in the league semi-final to book their place at RFU headquarters on Saturday 8 May, in the final against Midlands III top dogs Ampthill from Bedfordshire.

But Jersey will first have to concentrate on defending the Siam Cup – the second-oldest rugby trophy in the world – when they play their annual fixture against Guernsey on Saturday.
