Episode six of The Warm Up previews another packed weekend across Jersey sport, with Sports Reporters Archie Corbett, Elliot Corbel and Oliver Kidman breaking down the biggest fixtures, key storylines and potential milestone moments ahead.

There could be a title-winning moment in rugby this weekend as Jersey RFC travel to Bracknell knowing victory would secure the Regional South 1 Central crown. We look at the permutations, reflect on what would be a remarkable 19th consecutive win of the season, and debate whether it is slightly frustrating that such a milestone could arrive away from CoinShares Park.

Jersey Women RFC are also on the road against Canterbury in a key fixture that could shape their run-in, while the Royals face another tough test against Brighton II at home.

The Jersey Bulls return to Springfield to host Hassocks as they look to continue their strong start to 2026. With 21 points from a possible 27 since the turn of the year, promotion hopes remain firmly alive – but could this be exactly the kind of fixture that becomes tricky? We discuss the challenge posed by a struggling Hassocks side, the impact of Jonny Le Quesne’s injury on a defence that has looked so solid, and why the Bulls cannot afford to slip up against teams towards the bottom of the table.

In netball, Evelyn Partners Jets host Northants Storm as they continue their push towards the top of the table, and we ask whether they should be keeping an eye on results elsewhere or focusing purely on securing maximum points themselves.

Across local football there are huge league fixtures to look out for including our very own Archie Corbett in and amongst the Premiership title race goals, while Jersey’s volleyball side face another demanding triple-header in Hampshire Division 1 as they look to climb the standings.

As always, we round things off with our latest Fixture Forecast predictions.
