IN THE PRESS
Chessington & Hook United’s match against Jersey Bulls was featured in the Mon-
day, 5th of February edition of the Daily Mail.
he British Crown dependency of Jersey lies 14 miles from the French coast, and
Tuntil now, has been notable for cows, low taxation, the TV series Bergerac, and
being occupied by the Nazis during the Second World War.
Last year the St Helier football team Jersey Bulls gained admittance to the Com-
bined Counties League Division One, and having remained unbeaten after 23
games, scoring 90 goals and conceding only 7, they will be promoted to the Premier
League at their first attempt. Some would argue that the resources and money avail-
able to the team and also the pick of the finest players from the Island, means the
Jersey Bulls have a massive advantage over the other teams in the league, but they
would probably argue that they had to start somewhere and there would have been
an outcry if they’d been admitted to a higher league without working their way up.
It only remains to be seen whether any team in the division can go on to beat Jersey
Bulls (or even manage a draw).
