Well done lads your hard work (and the coaches) has paid off. Enjoy a few ales on Jersey tonight and have the confidence to take on and beat an industrious Albion next week.

Great result and although we did not get a bonus we stopped them getting any points.Tough game to come against Plymouth who got a good result today against Leeds.
Moseley (24) 31 Tries: Hayter (6, 32, 80) Conversions: Thomas (32, 80) Penalties: Thomas (10, 23, 36, 38)
Att: 1,973
Congrats to Charlie - the 'hat trick club' is fairly exclusive with the most recent being Callum against Bees 3 years ago (he got 4 that day). Nathan also scored 4 - some 7 years or so ago.
Most individual tries in a league match
4 - Nathan Bressington v Harrogate in 2005/06, and Callum Macburnie v Bees in 2009/10;
3 - Peter Shillingford (v Wasps Feb 1988), Dave Spiller (v Sale, April 1992), Darragh O'Mahony, (three times; v Nottingham, Feb. 1997; Waterloo, Feb. 1998; & v Fylde, April 1998), Peter Buxton (v Coventry, March 2000), Geoff Gregory (v London Welsh, December 2001), Richard Protherough (v Henley, March 2002), James Aston (v Bracknell Feb. 2004), Dean Bick (v Harrogate, October 2005)
Great result against Jersey, only sorry that the prohibitive travelling costs meant we couldn't be there. sets us up nicely for the Plymouth game. Keep up the good work. Nice one Charlie for the hat trick of tries.

Thank you Jersey for your excellent hospitality! What a fabulous game and fantastic result against a Jersey side not used to losing at home. There is still scope for further fine-tuning in the line-out, but marshalled by Powell and Pienaar, we looked solid and controlled up front, and a potent force going forward. Ben Pons again caught the eye. Aside from Charlie Hayter's brilliant hat-trick, he looked very strong defensively in partnership with Billy Robinson in midfield, particularly when under pressure from a quality Jersey back division in the first half. Again we looked a little fragile in defence on the flanks in the first half, however, this is no time for nit-picking... This was a well-crafted, hard-fought victory which bodes well for the home game against a resurgent Albion on Saturday. Let's hope this is the springboard for a strong surge up the table. Come on you Moooose!
Agreed Countrybumpkin. Jersey hospitality was as good as any club we have been to. It was good to see the lads with smiles on their faces and the way they came across to thank the fans helped to make the experience one of the best so far following Moseley. It was also great the way the fans backed the team, we almost out shouted the 2500 Jersey fans. Still hoarse from the effort. All in all a great weekend spent with a great band of fans. Cheers to Neil who organised, once again, a great trip.
Went to Jersey and gave my usual vocal support after the first try but found it was a lonesome Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose without any supporters back up chorus at all. At least |I entertained the Jersey fans. Never mind though if everything works out for me the Jersey home game in January should be the first of only 3 home games I can watch this season and I should have the chorus with me then. Come on Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose.

Liked the comments by supermose and yes we were wanting for cover on the wide outside. Also in the first half their scrum half - before he was injured - spotted a bloody great hole opening up twix the scrum and our centres - as I did and said he would go through, which he did - and it was only frantic back tackling which prevented an almost certain try under the posts. Would you believe that Pam and I saw NONE of our tries because everybody around us - including our reserves - stood up and we couldn't a thing. We had to wait for the referees signal. Those who insist on standing up - and I do understand the urge - effectively means that those behind them cannot see what is going on. It is so selfish.
