We are going to make sure we set our own standards and become as good a side as we can Jersey head coach Ben Harvey

"We are going to make sure we set our own standards and become as good a side as we can."

Harvey added that he believes former Coventry number twelve Donovan Sanders has been a hugely positive influence both on and off the pitch.

"We know Donovan's a very special player and he adds much more than just being a great player for us. He's been fantastic with the young lads, he's a fantastic rugby player and showed it again today."

Jersey are now three points clear of Havant with Dorking, Bracknell and Hertford a further two points behind.

Jersey host 11th placed Portsmouth on Saturday 24 October.
