Les Quennevais (in red) won the Hampshire Bowl in 2003

Les Quennevais Lydion Lions beat United Banks by six tries to one in the Jersey qualifier of the Hampshire Plate.

Tries from Matt Hill, Alex Whitehead and a classy kick and catch for Tim Hutchings made it 20-0 at half-time.

Banks pulled back five points with Nigel West going over, but further scores from Dan Lezalam, George Walker and Tom Butler secured the win.

Les Quennevais earned themselves a first-round proper clash away at Guernsey St Jacques in mid-January.

Jersey Rugby Club's Miles Landick, who has been sidelined this season with a long-term shoulder injury, has spent some of his time coaching Les Quennevais.

"The forwards set up a good platform for the backs." he told BBC Jersey. "We were really physical and fired up."
