Rfu Championship

Jersey Reds has ceased trading, with the club warning it will "inevitably" go into liquidation unless a last-minute rescue deal can be found.

The chairman of Championship Rugby, Simon Halliday, has hit out at the RFU's "disastrous" response to the Jersey Reds' collapse.

The Rugby Football Union has criticised Jersey Reds' investors for deciding to cease trading "at this early point in the season".
