CHARITY TREASURES: A signed throwback to the Jersey Reds

Friday 30 August 2024


A signed throwback to the "glory days of Jersey rugby" has been spotted at Age Concern Jersey's new charity shop.

Bargain enthusiast Fiona Walker recently set up social media pages under the name 'Upstylejersey24' to encourage islanders to do their own digging for treasure to support good causes.

Express has partnered with her to showcase her favourite bargains each week.

This week’s favourite find was a signed Jersey Reds rubgy ball on sale at Age Concern's new charity shop at Rondel Farm.

Fiona said: "How about a bit of sporting history?

"This memento from the glory days of Jersey rugby is on sale at Age Concern."

The Jersey Reds was a professional rugby union that suddenly went into administration after a key investor pulled funding last September.

The shock closure of the club came just months after their historic title win against Ampthill in 2023 Championships – one of the most significant achievements in the club's history.

With other mementos recalling Jersey Reds' previous victories appearing on the shelves at Age Concern, including a shirt from the 2023 Siam Cup, the new charity shop may prove to be the place to go for any ex-fans.

FIND YOUR OWN TREASURE...

Age Concern Jersey is dedicated to providing the older generation on the island with friendship and support.

Their charity shop moved location this summer from Val Plaisant to Rondel's Farm in Trinity which can be found on the map below.
