Jersey Bulls stay second as unbeaten run goes on

Jersey Bulls cruised to a 5-1 win over a Raynes Park Vale side who began the day in third place in the Isthmian League South Central Division on Saturday 17 October 2026 at Springfield Stadium.

The victory extended Jersey Bulls' unbeaten Isthmian League run to 29 matches. The Bulls, who are second in Isthmian League South Central, have not lost a regular-season game in the league since 30 December 2025, according to BBC Sport.

The visitors hit the Jersey bar five minutes before half-time, but Toby Ritzema broke from just outside the penalty area and raced the length of the field before teeing up top scorer Lorne Bickley for a tap-in as Bulls went in 3-0 up at the break.

James Sunley headed in a 51st-minute fourth goal, and Jersey youngster Darryl Mvalo scored his first Bulls league goal 11 minutes later to wrap up a stellar performance before Shamal Edwards pulled one back for Raynes Park Vale.

The win puts the island side four points off leaders Bognor Regis Town with a game in hand.

Jersey Bulls manager Elliot Powell said he did not expect his side to be troubled once they went 1-0 up. “Once we went 1-0 up, I really didn't think we were going to be too troubled in the game,” he said. He added: “Second half I'm just really pleased that we were relentless, we were ruthless, we kept going right to the very last and we've stuck together and got through a physical battle.”

Jersey Bulls' previous league match was a 3-3 draw away at Windsor & Eton on Tuesday 13 October 2026, and they won 2-0 at Kingstonian on 10 October. Their next fixture is at home to Moneyfields in the Isthmian League South Central Division on Tuesday 20 October 2026, kicking off at 20:00.
