    The Warm Up | 7 | Hockey Inter-Insular Special with Robbie Forrest, U21 Muratti & Jersey Pros

    Episode seven of The Warm Up previews a weekend dominated by one of the biggest dates in Jersey’s sporting calendar, as Jersey hockey host Guernsey in a full inter-insular programme. Sports reporters Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel are joined by men’s first-team player/coach Robbie Forrest, who becomes the podcast’s first guest as the trio discuss the six matches set to take place across the men’s and women’s teams. Forrest offers an inside look at how Jersey’s squads have prepared for the occasion, the excitement of hosting an inter-insular on home turf, and the growing strength of hockey on the island. With last year’s meeting in Guernsey producing mixed fortunes for Jersey, the panel explore what it will take for the men’s teams to reclaim bragging rights while the women look to build on their dominant clean sweep from the previous encounter. Attention also turns to the Under-21 Muratti, where Jersey travel to Guernsey for the Ambassadeur Bowl under captain Will Yates. Managed by Jack Cannon, the young Caesareans will be aiming to maintain their recent success in the fixture while avoiding the disciplinary issues that saw the side finish the last two meetings with ten men. In football, Jersey Bulls travel to Erith Town looking to extend their unbeaten start to 2026 despite a reshuffled defence, while Jersey Bulls Women return to league action against South Park United following the league split. The episode also rounds up key fixtures across the local football divisions and checks in on Jersey athletes making waves in professional sport, before the duo return with another round of Fixture Forecast predictions. ★ Support this podcast ★

    The Warm Up | 6 | Jersey RFC on the brink, big Bulls & Jets tests, and Premiership 1 title drama

    Episode six of The Warm Up previews another packed weekend across Jersey sport, with Sports Reporters Archie Corbett, Elliot Corbel and Oliver Kidman breaking down the biggest fixtures, key storylines and potential milestone moments ahead. There could be a title-winning moment in rugby this weekend as Jersey RFC travel to Bracknell knowing victory would secure the Regional South 1 Central crown. We look at the permutations, reflect on what would be a remarkable 19th consecutive win of the season, and debate whether it is slightly frustrating that such a milestone could arrive away from CoinShares Park. Jersey Women RFC are also on the road against Canterbury in a key fixture that could shape their run-in, while the Royals face another tough test against Brighton II at home. The Jersey Bulls return to Springfield to host Hassocks as they look to continue their strong start to 2026. With 21 points from a possible 27 since the turn of the year, promotion hopes remain firmly alive – but could this be exactly the kind of fixture that becomes tricky? We discuss the challenge posed by a struggling Hassocks side, the impact of Jonny Le Quesne’s injury on a defence that has looked so solid, and why the Bulls cannot afford to slip up against teams towards the bottom of the table. In netball, Evelyn Partners Jets host Northants Storm as they continue their push towards the top of the table, and we ask whether they should be keeping an eye on results elsewhere or focusing purely on securing maximum points themselves. Across local football there are huge league fixtures to look out for including our very own Archie Corbett in and amongst the Premiership title race goals, while Jersey’s volleyball side face another demanding triple-header in Hampshire Division 1 as they look to climb the standings. As always, we round things off with our latest Fixture Forecast predictions. ★ Support this podcast ★
