Jonny le Quesne's goal clamed any nerves of a hot day in St Helier

Two second-half goals saw Jersey Bulls beat Epsom and Ewell 2-0 for a third successive league victory.

Lorne Bickley and Miguel Carvalho had chances to give Jersey the lead before the half-time interval at Springfield.

Adam Trotter broke the deadlock six minutes after the break as he blasted in low from the edge of the box after Luke Watson's header had been cleared.

Jonny le Quesne sealed the win late on as he got on the end of Jake Mulholland's ball over the defence.

The win for Jersey Bulls over the bottom-of-the-table side moves them up to third place in Combined Counties Premier League South.

"It was always going to be a bit difficult in these conditions and we said before the game, no matter where a team are in this league, they can always cause you a problem," Bulls manager Gary Freeman told BBC Radio Jersey.

"The pleasing thing is we didn't panic at 0-0 and kept the composure, and thankfully Adam's got the goal that's got us going.

"I thought for the whole game we controlled it, but you want to get that first goal, and once that went in we could relax a little bit."
