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. ★ Support this podcast ★

Episode five of The Cool Down reflects on another powerful weekend for Jersey sport, with unbeaten runs stretching across multiple teams and momentum building at exactly the right time of the season.The Jersey Bulls continued their impressive 2026 form with another disciplined display, maintaining their unbeaten start to the calendar year and keeping the pressure firmly on the play-off places. With defensive solidity becoming the hallmark of their run-in, we analyse whether this resilience is what will ultimately define their promotion push.The Evelyn Partners Jets also extended their unbeaten streak, producing another composed performance on the road to underline their title credentials. With rivals also in action, we assess what the result means in the context of the Premier League 3 title race and whether belief is now turning into expectation.At CoinShares Park, Jersey RFC remain relentless. Their unbeaten league campaign rolled on once more, and while the mathematical title confirmation may still require patience, the inevitability of silverware is becoming harder to ignore. There was also a standout weekend for Jersey’s women’s volleyball team, who returned from Hampshire unbeaten across three fixtures in a single day as they continue to set standards off-island.As always, we round off with our Fixture Forecast review, assess who’s building the strongest late-season momentum, and ask whether this could be remembered as the weekend where unbeaten belief became something bigger.Together with Nudge, we’re offering listeners of the Warm Up, Cool Down podcast an opportunity to win 2x free tickets to The Rugby Pod Live at The Jersey Opera House on 18th March. To win, you must:Be on our Warm Up, Cool Down Mailing list.

With ten games remaining, the run-in is well and truly underway. We discuss whether the Friday night factor is an advantage, if anything less than three points would feel like a missed opportunity, and why the Bulls’ defensive record could be the foundation of their promotion push.In netball, the Evelyn Partners Jets travel to fifth-placed Sussex Thunder off the back of two big wins. With title rivals Ryland also in action, we assess whether this weekend could shape the title race.It could also be a significant afternoon for Jersey RFC. The league leaders are 17 points clear at the top and, while unlikely, there is a mathematical path to being crowned champions this weekend. We break down the bonus point permutations ahead of a double-header at CoinShares Park, with a full day of rugby and a potential celebration on the cards.Across local football, there is action in Premiership 1 and the Championship divisions, alongside JFA Cup ties and the Sylvia Spinola Memorial Cup in the women’s game.
