NEITHER Savills side got the win they sought when they travelled to Jersey for the Upton matches.

Although the women’s team have been away from the Upton set-up for two years, their form this season promised to put them in a good position to take the trophy, but their encounter with 2e2 Panthers proved to be particularly frustrating.

In past years, inter-insular and Upton matches have had a neutral referee to avoid disputes. This was not to be the case for this Upton as a Jersey official took to the stand.
