Late Hinds goal preserves Bulls' unbeaten record
- Published
Jersey Bulls needed a late Karl Hinds equaliser to maintain their unbeaten start to the season as they drew 2-2 at Sheerwater in Combined Counties Premier South.
Top scorer Lorne Bickley put Bulls in front after 17 minutes with a low strike before a good save denied him a second seven minutes later.
Elliott York equalised just before half time and Nathan Pooley put the hosts in front midway through the second half.
Bulls forward James Sunley was brought down in the penalty area 12 minutes from the end, and while Chris Adams saved Bickley’s resulting spot kick, substitute Hinds was there to score the rebound.
The islanders had a goal disallowed for offside soon after before forcing Adams into a good stoppage time save as they looked for a winner.
The result meant a third draw in four games for Jersey Bulls under new boss Elliot Powell, whose side are unbeaten in all of his six matches and lie eighth in the table.
