The National Leagues The current clubhouse was opened in September 1994 and corresponded approximately with the start of the National leagues in England. By then Jersey could no longer rely on random visiting sides playing friendlies and chose to join the league in Hampshire. In the summer of 2010, the new Lord Jersey Stand was built between the 1st XV pitch and the Airport Road as was the Pavilion, with kitchen and bar, to the east of the main club facilities. This was to provide amenities for the increasing number of spectators due to the further success of the 1st XV. The first team then worked its way up the National Leagues, winning the overall National League 3 in 2010 and progressing to National League 2 South. In 2011, Jersey were promoted to National League 1 through a play-off game at home to Loughborough Students. This was followed by promotion to the Championship at the end of the 2011/12 season. The club had excellent attendances at St Peter during the 2011–12 National League 1 season including a club record crowd of 3,648 for a 20–18 win over Rosslyn Park on 25 January 2012. The Championship The 2012/13 season was the club's first in the second tier of English rugby. The team struggled over the first couple of seasons but managed to avoid relegation. Following those difficult seasons, the club has been able to establish itself as a solid member of the Championship and has delivered the following season-end positions: - 2012/13 – 11th 2013/14 – 11th 2014/15 – 7th 2015/16 – 6th 2016/17 – 5th 2017/18 – 5th 2018/19 – 4th 2019/20 – 6th (season terminated early due to Covid pandemic) 2020/21 – 6th (short season again due to pandemic) 2021/22 - 4th (best finish with more wins and match-points than any other season) Over recent years, the club has also developed a name for beating the team in the Championship that went on to be promoted to the Premiership that season. These wins have included: - 2015 – beating Worcester 23–21 at home 2017 – beating London Irish 15–11 at home and again 17–25 away just one week later 2018 – beating Bristol 34–38 away at Ashton Gate 2018 – beating London Irish17-14 at home 2019 – beating the Russian National team in Moscow 22-35 (This was a World Cup warm-up game for the hosts) British and Irish Cup
