Rugby Team Flies In

On board Air Southwest's very first flight from Jersey to Plymouth today (2nd April) was the entire under-13 Jersey Schools Representative Rugby Team, made up of four coaching staff and 19 pupils.

Scott Stevenson, 30, is head of PE at De La Salle College in St Saviour, Jersey. He said the team’s trip was their first visit to the South West, when they will play Estover Community College, Plymstock Rugby team and the South West 15 Select Team, which is made up of schools from the Plymouth Area.

Scott said: "I did my teacher training at Marjons in Plymouth and still have great links with Estover Community College and Roger Vavrecka, head of PE at the college, who helped to set up the tour and whose team we will be playing against on Friday

“I've wanted to bring the team across to the South West for a while so I'm delighted that Air Southwest has started their new service as we now have direct transport link to the heart of the region.

"From my initial contact with Air Southwest they have been really helpful in setting up the group booking. They have given us a great service at a good price.

"Previously we've taken the ferry or flown with other airlines into Gatwick and toured the London area to make the most of our limited time. Air Southwest is making it quick and cost effective to get to the South West so we are looking forward to using them again."

All Air Southwest flights can be booked online at www.airsouthwest.com.
