Jersey Bulls beat Moneyfields to move within a point of league leaders
James Sunley’s early goal secured a 1-0 win as Jersey Bulls extended their unbeaten Isthmian League run to 30 matches.
Jersey Bulls beat Moneyfields 1-0 in the Isthmian League South Central Division on 20 October, moving within one point of leaders Bognor Regis Town. James Sunley scored in the sixth minute, and the second-placed Bulls extended their unbeaten league run to 30 matches, BBC Sport reported.
Sunley finished a low ball from the right by Tony Ritzema to put the hosts ahead. Ritzema then set up Lorne Bickley, who shot over, before having a close-range header saved on the line as Jersey pressed for another goal early in the match, according to BBC Sport.
How Jersey Bulls held on against Moneyfields
Moneyfields grew into the first half but struggled to create a clear chance. Jersey’s Sammy Henia-Kamau and Bickley both had efforts saved before the break. About 20 minutes into the second half, Moneyfields striker Sam Ashton had a low shot saved by Bulls goalkeeper Euan van der Vliet, BBC Sport reported.
Jersey thought they had doubled their lead in the first minute of stoppage time when Jamie Watling headed in Luke Watson’s corner, but the goal was disallowed. Moneyfields captain Tom Cain was sent off in the eighth minute of stoppage time for a dangerous tackle on Bulls substitute Fraser Barlow, according to BBC Sport. The score remained 1-0.
