A hat-trick from hooker Antonio Harris helped the club’s professionals to a 31-17 success over Hartpury University at St Peter and Reds Athletic secured a 14-13 win over hosts Guernsey Raiders in the Siam.

Captain Tim Corson scored what turned out to be a crucial second try for the Caesareans in the first half at Footes Lane, with the visitors holding on to a one-point lead for the final 15 minutes in front of a strong Sarnian crowd.

Earlier, Jersey’s women and veterans both lost their respective inter-insular battles.
