The day began early with a 4:00am pick up from MRFC ready for a 7:00am flight to Jersey. After breakfast and a small power nap in the kids area for one of our players, our women were ready to take on Jersey. A team known for their strong home team performance and club with a great record for rugby.

On to the rugby!

Medway Women secured a hard-fought 17-5 victory over Jersey in a thrilling away match. The team dominated the first half with sustained periods of attack, relentless forward play, and strong scrummaging.

Medway's captain and talisman, Caroline Jordan, opened the scoring with a well-taken try that was converted at a difficult angle by Alix Davies. Jersey struggled to respond to Medway's attacking prowess, and the defence was broken again by Allisha Coulson, who smashed through the line to score Medway's second try.

Despite Medway's dominance, Jersey's formidable defence held firm, preventing Medway from extending their lead further.

The second half saw Jersey come out with renewed energy, crossing the white wash with an unconverted try to reduce the deficit. However, Medway responded with renewed determination, hammering back with a persistent attack. Their efforts were rewarded with another try from Allisha Coulson, solidifying Medway's lead.

Despite prolonged periods of attack, Medway were held to 17 points, ultimately securing a well-deserved 17-5 victory over Jersey.

Forward of the match was Alix Davis and back of the match was Allisha Coulson.

After the match we enjoyed beers and an opportunity to watch Jersey men play Horsham, followed by a brilliant evening on the Jersey tiles. We ate great food, drank great drink, sang great songs (led by our club chair) and rode some cows!! We all made it to the airport for the flight home - well nearly all (two slept in...) A truly unforgettable away league fixture.
