Jack Boyle makes his return to Jersey soil on Monday, 27 April

Jersey's friendly against Championship side Southampton has been re-arranged for Monday, 27 April.

The two sides were due to meet on 9 February but the pitch at the Springfield stadium was deemed unplayable following heavy rain.

The Jersey FA has close links with Saints, with St Mary's chairman Michael Wilde being a major sponsor of the JFA.

Former Jersey player Jack Boyle, who joined Saints last year, is expected to feature in the 20-man squad.

It will be one of the final opportunities for Jersey manager Dave Kennedy to assess his squad before the Muratti in Guernsey.

Jersey will face their Guernsey rivals at the Track on Sunday, 3 May, hoping to retain the trophy they won on home soil last season.
