The Jersey Bulls secured a convincing 3-0 victory over already-relegated East Grinstead Town, bolstering their hopes for a play-off spot in the Isthmian League South East.
The island team, unbeaten since the start of 2026, celebrated their eighth win in nine matches, maintaining their position in fourth place.

Bulls took the lead just three minutes into the match when Luke Campbell’s header from a corner was deemed to have crossed the line prior to being cleared by a defender.
Rai Dos Santos came close shortly after, sending a shot just over the bar as Bulls faced the league’s bottom side in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Springfield.
Bickley struck the crossbar 12 minutes before halftime, but shortly before the break, Dos Santos scored his eighth goal in six games with a powerful shot into the net.
The second half began perfectly for the Bulls, as James Sunley found the back of the net just one minute after the restart, thanks to excellent setups from Bickley and Harry Curtis.

The islanders continued to press for more goals, with near misses from Bickley, Stan Dunne, and Toby Ritzema, although East Grinstead’s goalkeeper Harry Howes produced a series of impressive late saves.
With three matches remaining, Bulls’ impressive goal difference suggests they require only one more win to secure their place in the top five, barring any extraordinary turn of events.
