Jersey landed at Hall Road aiming for a big win and a joyful flight home. But the Lady Bulls had other ideas.
From the first whistle, the Bulls were electric—powerful carries and slick hands set the stage for #03 Polish to crash over early. #15 Millie’s conversion drifted wide, but the Bulls led 5–0.
Jersey responded to edge ahead 7–5, only for Polish to strike again after smart build-up play. Millie nailed the extras: 12–7 Bulls.
A yellow card tested the Bulls’ resolve, and Jersey capitalised to lead 21–12. Heads dipped briefly, but the captains rallied the squad. Just before halftime, #13 Tolley—dominant in the lineout—finished a brilliant phase to close the gap: 17–21.
The second half was a war of attrition. Despite another yellow, the Bulls’ defence was heroic. With minutes left, #09 Mimi’s quick tap set up #08 Hannah to score out wide: 22–21.
Jersey surged from the restart, but the Bulls held firm. A clutch turnover from Steph and Mimi’s kick to touch sealed the win and defended the Hall Road fortress.
Final score: Lady Bulls 22 – Jersey 21
A fierce, fearless display packed with heart and grit. Jersey came hunting points—but left with nothing but respect for the Lady Bulls.
