Jersey Bulls win in Sevenoaks to keep up play-off hopes

Jersey Bulls have not conceded a goal for three games [BBC]

Jersey Bulls boosted their play-off hopes with a 1-0 win at Sevenoaks Town in Isthmian League South East.

The islanders, who are unbeaten in 2026, move back into fifth place after a third win in four games.

They are two points clear of sixth-placed Faversham Town, who have three games in hand, while Bulls have played at least two more games than the rest of their rivals.

James Queree gave the Jersey the perfect start as he put his side 1-0 up with a fourth-minute penalty after Toluope Jonah was penalised for handball.

It proved to be the decisive moment of a game with few clear-cut chances as Lorne Bickley twice went close in the opening half hour for the Bulls.

Miguel Carvalho forced an excellent close-range save from home goalkeeper Jordan Perrin after he had spilled Toby Ritzema’s 34th-minute shot.

Perrin produced another excellent save to keep the Oaks in the game as he acrobatically tipped substitute James Sunley’s venomous strike over the bar 18 minutes into the second half.

The hosts failed to trouble Euan van der Vliet in the Jersey goal as Bulls kept a third successive clean sheet.
