'Fantastic' Bulls midfielder Watson hailed after 100th game
Jersey Bulls veteran midfielder Luke Watson has been praised for his impact on the side.
The 38-year-old former Jersey captain scored on his 100th appearance on Saturday as the islanders won 3-1 at Knaphill to close the gap to the top two in Combined Counties Premier South to three points.
Watson, who enjoyed a stellar local career at St Paul's and led the island to victory over Guernsey in the Muratti Vase, signed for Bulls in January 2023.
Since then he has become a mainstay of a side which reached the league play-offs last season and made the last 16 of the FA Vase.
"Luke's been fantastic," Jersey Bulls coach Dan Garton told BBC Radio Jersey.
"A pretty amazing stat is that he's only actually missed one game when he was suspended last season, so out of potentially 101 games he's been involved in 100 games, which is a huge testament to Luke.
"He's a leading example in terms of commitment, drive, work ethic and it's great for him to score the penalty on his 100th appearance.
"Luke's a great role model, still going at his tender age of 38, but a great example of an athlete that looks after himself."

Jersey beat Guernsey in nail-biting T20 series
Jersey narrowly beat Guernsey 2-1 to retain their inter-island T20 title in a rain-affected set of matches. Jersey won the final game at Grainville by three runs in a nail-biting finish as skipper Charles Perchard restricted Guernsey in the final over, having earlier hit 26 not out. Advertisement Guernsey had won Friday's opening game by eight wickets via the Duckworth Lewis Stern method (DLS) before the hosts hit back to level the series with a rain-affected seven-wicket win. The games doubled up as warm-ups for this summer's final round of European qualifying for the T20 World Cup in the Netherlands where both islands will be taking part. "It's been a long time since we lost a trophy to Guernsey in inter-insular cricket and I'm delighted to gave got the win," Perchard told BBC Radio Jersey. "As we build up towards a big summer we've still got work to do to get better - we weren't at our sharpest. Advertisement "But that trophy is staying on Jersey soil so I'm really delighted at that." Rain hits first two matches Zak Tribe's 28 and 25 from Nick Greenwood were the highlights of Jersey's innings in the opening fixture on Friday as they made 116-8 from their 20 overs. Guernsey bowler Martin Dale Bradley impressed with 4-17 and Luke Bichard took 2-17, while Patrick Gouge contributed 21 not out. With rain forecast, Guernsey wasted no time in trying to get the runs they needed as opener Josh Butler hit 33 not out off 30 balls. They were 65-2 off 10 overs when the game was abandoned because of rain - ahead of the rate needed for victory. Advertisement The weather reduced the second game to 13 overs per side and Guernsey started well - Ben Fitchet (37) and Butler (24) putting on 55 for the opening wicket before Tom Nightingale (16) and Matthew Stokes (15) helped them reach 107-7 despite Perchard taking 4-15. Chasing a revised score of 114 to win from their 13, Jersey reached their target with five balls to spare. Having lost opener Harrison Carlyon to the opening ball of the innings, they recovered as Greenwood (45) and Tribe (19) shared a second-wicket stand of 47. Jonty Jenner hit 32 in a match-winning fourth-wicket stand of 42 with while Julius Sumerauer (15 not out) as Jersey reached 116-3. Deciding game drama The rain held off for the deciding match at Grainville, and having won the toss Jersey opted to bat first. Advertisement It was a decision they looked like they would regret as they lost their opening three wickets for just two runs as Carlyon, Greenwood and Jenner were all sent back to the clubhouse. Sumerauer played an innings-steadying knock of 34 off 21 balls but they were 58-4 when he was bowled by Stokes in the eighth over. Jersey then lost four cheap wickets as they slumped to 74-8 off 11.4 overs as Guernsey seemed certain for a first-ever T20 series win over their rivals - and a first in any format for a decade. But Will Perchard and Charles Perchard came together in an unbroken ninth-wicket stand of 56 - Will hitting 29 off 28 balls and Charles 26 off 23 as Jersey ended on 130-8. Advertisement In reply Guernsey's batters also faltered as they slipped to 46-4 at the start of the ninth over. Stokes - who went on to score a series-high 66 not out off 48 balls - and Ollie Nightingale (17) advanced the total on to 96-5 with four overs to go. But Guernsey's batters continued to struggle to support Stokes as Charles Perchard returned figures of 3-15 by dismissing Luke Bichard and Adam Martel in the final over. Needing just seven runs, Perchard conceded just three off the over as Guernsey ended on 127-8, giving Jersey the most nerve-wracking of wins. "I'm delighted to have got us over the line," added Perchard. Advertisement "I fancy those pressure moments and I'm the captain, I take responsibility for the team. "I'm delighted to have executed my skills and backed up by some amazing fielding in that last over as well."

SFU's McConnell excited for family's success
LORETTO, PA (WTAJ) — Saint Francis basketball coach Luke McConnell laughs thinking about the message he sent his cousin T.J. after the Indiana Pacers won the Eastern Conference Finals. 'I literally think my text was, 'Dude, you're in the NBA Finals' and he's like, 'I know, right?' Like crazy.,' he recalls. Luke is in his first season as head coach at his alma mater, Saint Francis University. His cousin T.J. has played in the NBA for a decade and Thursday made his NBA Finals debut. It's a moment the two used to practice as kids. 'We would cut our dad's dress socks and wear the sleeve like Allen Iverson. Just kids who loved watching basketball loved the NBA,' he said. 'Playing ten, nine, eight where, you know, there's 10 seconds left in game seven… So to go from that to see what he's been able to accomplish is, is really fun.' Luke grew up in Blair County, T.J. in Pittsburgh. The sons of basketball coaches they spent a lot of their summers going back and forth from camp to camp, learning basketball together. 'Our dads each had basketball camps, so we would each go back and forth to our dad's basketball camps, you know, going to Pittsburgh, coming back to Hollidaysburg, playing in the driveway to see where he's come from. That it's surreal in a way,' said Luke. Since the driveway, T.J. has balled at Arizona, then with the Sixers and in 2019 he joined the Pacers where he's been a steady presence off the bench and leader in the locker room. 'I want a lot of us to know how hard it is to get here. But the job's not done. You know, we have four more wins, and we've got to focus on that,' said T.J. during the NBA Finals media day. '(It) never ceases to amaze us what he's able to accomplish,' said Luke. 'So for him to reach the finals, literally the biggest stage in basketball is, it's unbelievable to think about, but not surprising at the same time with what he's been able to do.' The McConnells are basketball royalty in Pittsburgh. Luke coaches Saint Francis, the same school his dad coached at. T.J. is with the Pacers, his dad Tim is a WPIAL coaching legend, and his sister Megan just made her WNBA debut. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
