In the final week of team preparations coach Bouchard said, “We have had some very
strong competition in our two leagues this summer. This has produced a new look to the
Jersey Squads which have greater strength and depth going into this years’ fixtures. A
number of the local title winning players form part of our island squads and there is an
abundance of talent on display in all positions.”
Preparations culminated on Sunday with a closely contested head to head for the island
representative teams.
Over 50 JSA players, coaches, committee members and supporters will travel on
Saturday supported by sponsorship from DMS Jersey Ltd and CrazyKangaroo.com.
