In February, sitting States Member and former minister Philip Ozouf was sentenced to 120 hours of community service for breaking the Island's immigration law - for employing Rwandan nationals in his home and the laundry he owned, contrary to the terms of their work permits. In this podcast, the Head of Customs and Immigration, which led the investigation, shares how the case came about and how officers are there to support all Islanders, including migrant workers, who feel they are being treated unfairly.

Episode 9 of The Warm Up is headlined by a massive weekend for the Evelyn Partners Jets and one of the biggest White Collar events Jersey has to offer.

The Evelyn Partners Jets travel to Norfolk United for their final Premier League 3 fixture with promotion firmly in sight, and we hear from captain Rosie Tonner and head coach Serena Kersten ahead of the decisive clash.

We also turn our attention to White Collar Darts, where Bailiwick’s very own Archie Corbett prepares to step up to the oche in support of Jersey Stroke Support. There’s reaction to the draw, pre-event nerves, and what promises to be a huge night at the Royal Jersey Showground.

Elsewhere, Jersey Bulls look to extend their unbeaten 2026 run at home to Crowborough Athletic, while Bulls Women chase a 14th straight victory. Rugby previews, local football league and cup ties, and a quick boxing update from Oliver Kidman round out another packed Warm Up.

All that and more as we set the stage for another huge weekend in Jersey sport.

The Bailiwick Sports Podcast delivers a special episode dedicated to the 2026 White Collar Darts, as organisers Stuart Moon and Gareth Colley join Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel in the studio.

We discuss the rapid rise of the event, the impact of the ‘Luke Littler effect’ on darts’ popularity, and what supporters can expect from a huge night at the Royal Jersey Showground in front of a 650-strong crowd. With 19 participants stepping up to the oche, the evening is set to be one of the standout sporting occasions on the island.

The team also take a closer look at the match-ups, including analysing the challenge facing our very own Archie Corbett, and reveal how exhibition stars Ryan ‘Heavy Metal’ Searle and Ross ‘Smudger’ Smith were selected for their best-of-11-legs showdown.

It’s everything you need ahead of a massive night of darts in Jersey.

The Cool Down Episode 8 sees Oliver Kidman join Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel once again as the Bailiwick Sports team round up another packed weekend of Jersey sport.

Jersey RFC’s men make it 20 wins from 20 with another dominant display, while the women push unbeaten leaders Hove all the way in a competitive performance. In football, the Bulls boost their play-off hopes with victory over Eastbourne, as the Bulls women continue their title charge with another important win.

We also break down a dramatic round of local football, including St Clement tightening the Premiership 1 title race and goals galore across the divisions. There’s success for Victoriana as they complete a league and cup double in hockey, plus unbeaten celebrations on the volleyball court.

Elsewhere, we cover Junior Star Series action at Springfield, the JBFC Girls Academy at Victoria Park, a strong finish to the season for Jets 2’s, and a recap of a busy night for Jersey’s boxing scene.

And to wrap things up - the latest Fixture Forecast standings, with Elliot maintaining his lead over Archie.

The Warm Up returns with Sports Reporters Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel, and a quick interjection from Oliver Kidman, as the team discuss Jersey's top sides heading into their season finales. 

The business end of the season is here. This week, we look ahead to a huge test for Jersey Bulls as they host an Eastbourne Town side fresh off big results against Sittingbourne and Faversham – with the play-off race tighter than ever.

We also preview a massive Premiership 1 clash between Jersey Wanderers and St Clement, with the title race on the line, and discuss key fixtures across the local divisions.

Plus, Jersey Bulls Girls Academy head to Guernsey for inter-insular action, there’s a big final weekend for Jersey rugby, Jersey Leonis ABC Boxing, and Jets 2’s wrap up their season.

And of course… a little bit of darts chat thrown in too.

The Government of Jersey has recently launched Time to Win - a major initiative to secure the Island's competitive edge in financial and related professional services. The organisation's CEO, Dr Andrew McLaughlin, shares why the sector - and Jersey as a whole - is standing at a crossroads.  [sponsored podcast]

Episode seven of The Cool Down reflects on a hugely successful weekend for Jersey sport, with Sports Reporters Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel breaking down an unbeaten inter-insular showing against Guernsey.

Hockey takes centre stage as Jersey retain “The Big Stick” after going unbeaten across all six fixtures. We discuss the standout performances, including Robbie Forrest’s goal in the men’s 1st team 2-0 win, the dominance of the men’s 3s in their 8-0 victory, and how the women’s sides once again delivered across the board.

In football, attention turns to the Under-21 Muratti, where Jersey secured a convincing 5-2 win in Guernsey, while the Jersey Bulls were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw away at Erith Town – although results elsewhere mean their play-off push remains on track. We also touch on a big win for the Bulls Women and round up the key action from across the local leagues and cup competitions.

There’s also a look at the Junior Star Series success for Jersey’s youngsters, as well as a brief – and important – discussion on the White Collar Darts showdown between the 2024 and 2026 teams.

All that, plus this week’s Fixture Forecast result, as Elliot edges Archie 35-32.

Episode seven of The Warm Up previews a weekend dominated by one of the biggest dates in Jersey’s sporting calendar, as Jersey hockey host Guernsey in a full inter-insular programme. Sports reporters Archie Corbett and Elliot Corbel are joined by men’s first-team player/coach Robbie Forrest, who becomes the podcast’s first guest as the trio discuss the six matches set to take place across the men’s and women’s teams.

Forrest offers an inside look at how Jersey’s squads have prepared for the occasion, the excitement of hosting an inter-insular on home turf, and the growing strength of hockey on the island. With last year’s meeting in Guernsey producing mixed fortunes for Jersey, the panel explore what it will take for the men’s teams to reclaim bragging rights while the women look to build on their dominant clean sweep from the previous encounter.

Attention also turns to the Under-21 Muratti, where Jersey travel to Guernsey for the Ambassadeur Bowl under captain Will Yates. Managed by Jack Cannon, the young Caesareans will be aiming to maintain their recent success in the fixture while avoiding the disciplinary issues that saw the side finish the last two meetings with ten men.

In football, Jersey Bulls travel to Erith Town looking to extend their unbeaten start to 2026 despite a reshuffled defence, while Jersey Bulls Women return to league action against South Park United following the league split.

The episode also rounds up key fixtures across the local football divisions and checks in on Jersey athletes making waves in professional sport, before the duo return with another round of Fixture Forecast predictions.

Episode six of The Cool Down reflects on a landmark weekend across Jersey sport.

The headline story comes from rugby, where Jersey RFC sealed the league title and promotion back to the National Leagues with a dominant 38-7 win over Bracknell, securing their 19th consecutive victory and a third promotion in four seasons.

We also break down Jersey RFC Women’s five-try performance against Canterbury, discuss Rai Dos Santos’ hat-trick for the Jersey Bulls as their unbeaten run reaches ten games, and analyse the latest movement in the local football title races.

Elsewhere, Evelyn Partners Jets move into second place with one match remaining, Jersey’s men’s volleyball side produce a perfect weekend in Hampshire, and there are plenty of goals and cup matches across the island’s football leagues.

Finally, the latest Fixture Forecast battle continues - with Elliot just edging the standings 28-27. 

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.
