Rugby: Dempsey leaves Jersey Reds

Dempsey had taken up the new role in May at the end of an eight-year tenure as the club’s chairman. Current chairman Mark Morgan said: ‘Bill asked to meet me and told me that he had decided to step down with immediate effect. To lose someone of Bill’s great experience is a disappointing development for the club, but nevertheless I respect his decision and would like to thank him for the major contribution he’s made. I hope that he will still be a familiar and regular face at St Peter on match-days and at other club events.’

Last week Jersey Reds confirmed they had secured £1.5 million in capital through a sale-and-leaseback of assets – including the pitches, club- house, car park and pavilion – to acquire sufficient funding to complete the current season.
