James Querée joins The Bailiwick Sports Podcast ahead of Saturday’s 108th Muratti Vase as Jersey prepare to host Guernsey at Springfield Stadium. 

Heading into his sixth Muratti and leading the island out as captain, the Jersey Bulls skipper sits down with Archie Corbett to discuss the build-up to one of the Channel Islands’ biggest sporting occasions.

The pair discuss the atmosphere around Muratti week, the confidence within the squad following an impressive Bulls season, the influence of manager Jack Cannon and Jersey’s hopes of reclaiming the trophy on home soil. 

With the chance to complete a clean sweep over Guernsey following victories at U16, U18 and U21 level, there is plenty on the line this weekend.

Katie De La Cloche joins The Bailiwick Sports Podcast ahead of this weekend’s Siam Cup clash in Guernsey. In her final Siam campaign as captain, the Jersey skipper sits down with Oliver Kidman to discuss the side’s preparations, the arrival of seven debutantes, Jersey’s improved league season and the challenge of taking on Guernsey away from home.

The pair also discuss nerves, leadership and what it means to captain Jersey in one of the Channel Islands’ biggest sporting occasions, with De La Cloche confident her side can rise to the occasion.

With the biggest date in the Jersey rugby calendar looming, AIM Sports Editor Elliot Corbel welcomes Jersey RFC Men's captain Evan Whitson to the studio for a fascinating insight into the mindset, preparation and discipline required to lead in as demanding a sport as rugby.

Whitson dives into his personal experiences in big derby matches back home in Wales and how it was to adapt to learning about the Inter Insular contest and what it means to both sides of the channel.  

After personally lifting the second oldest trophy in international rugby last year as part of their historic consecutive 4-0 series home whitewash, Whitson and his men are hoping to buck the odds and bring the Cup home from Footes Lane this weekend.
