Siam pushed back – Muratti could be too

By Ron Felton

Action from last year's Siam Cup.

SIAM Cup day in Guernsey has been pushed back a week due to Jersey’s fixture backlog.

And don’t rule out a change of Muratti Vase final day either.

The Jersey club’s National III South East commitments have forced the Siam change as weather has caused a fixture pile-up in the UK.

With Jersey hot favourites to win the division – they are currently 11 points clear – they could be expected to host a Champions Cup semi-final with the winners of National III South West (most likely Taunton who enjoy an equally-big lead) on the new date of Saturday, 24 April, the previous day scheduled for the Siam.

Should Jersey win that semi-final they would then have a date at Twickenham, on Saturday, 8 May, against the winners of the National III North v Midlands semi-final.

And should that come about it could turn out to be one of the biggest ever days for Channel Islands sport as it could clash with football’s Muratti Vase final.
