SECURING a play-off position isn’t enough for Gary Freeman and his Jersey Bulls team. A win tomorrow at Tooting & Mitcham United should pretty much make that a done deal. But there is incentive to finish second too. Not only will it make it the best performance for the club over a season in the Premier Division South of the Combined Counties League, it will also guarantee that the semi-final and final of the play-offs, should they get there, are played in front of a home crowd at Springfield.

ST CLEMENT edged one point closer to the league title, despite being pegged back in a 1-1 draw at lowly St Paul’s on Wednesday night. That’s because rivals St Peter failed to take advantage, losing 1-0 at Grouville. It had looked like St Clement were well on their way to their 13th win out of 14 league games, albeit narrowly, after Karl Hinds put them in the lead just before half-time – his 32nd of the season.

IT is hard to call which of the Jersey Opens, which ran from 1978 to 1995 (with the exception of 1990, which was cancelled due to a lack of sponsorship), had the deepest talent pool, but none of them were shy of it. For nearly two decades, the tournament at La Moye overlooking the sweeping coastline along St Ouen’s Bay, was a fixture for most of the best players on the European Tour. The Great White Shark, Greg Norman, played it twice, even missing the cut in the inaugural edition of 1978.

DESCRIBED as a “deeply spiritual person”, Steve Harewood, who has died aged 76, was a hugely influential and pioneering surfer and surfboard shaper. He was part of the original group of trailblazing local lads, inspired by watching South African expats take to the waves in St Ouen’s Bay, who would push Jersey surfing into new frontiers. But it was what he could do with a board off the water, as much as on it, that set Harewood apart.

ST CLEMENT have one hand on their second league title in three seasons after beating fellow contenders and defending champions St Peter 1-0. Inevitably, it was a Karl Hinds goal that settled matters and it came late on in what was an otherwise frantic and, quite honestly, poor head-to-head between the two best teams in the league. Not that St Clement care one bit about the quality of the tussle. They got the three points they wanted and needed to put themselves clear at the top.

JERSEY RFC Women’s head coach, Simon Le Moignan, paid tribute to his squad ahead of tomorrow’s coronation as champions of the NC 2 South East (South) league.

FOR a short time – 2006 to 2010 – Jersey was proud to host a prestigious ATP Challenger event that featured a fair mix of prodigious young talents quickly working their way up the rankings, and journeymen (and women) grinding it out for a little extra in the purse and the hope of breaking through to the main tour. One such player who was tipped for big success claimed the men’s singles title of the Caversham International at Les Ormes this week 15 years ago.
