Jersey director of rugby Ben Harvey believes the club can reach the Premiership within five years.

Jersey director of rugby Ben Harvey believes the club can reach the Premiership within five years.

The islanders finished second from bottom of the Championship in their first season in the second tier after a run of four promotions in the previous five years.

Harvey has brought in a raft of new players this summer to bolster promotion hopes for the coming seasons.

"I wouldn't be betting against it," he told BBC Radio Jersey.

Anyone who thinks that in five years' time we're not playing in the Premiership, I'd like to see where they'd put their mortgage money."

Martin Luther King had a dream. Abba had a dream so why can't Ben have a dream. Shoot for the stars and you might end up over the moon I saw posted elsewhere. Lets start by beating Tiggers - one game at a time!

Don't kick it pick it up and GO FORWARD

Need to focus on this season and pushing up the league first. It's great to see Harvey has such ambition though even if we won the Championship we wouldn't go up as St Peters hasn't got enough capacity. We can dream at least.
