- Published
Jersey Bulls drew 1-1 with Isthmian League South East leaders Three Bridges at Springfield.
Three Bridges had an early effort cleared off the line and saw Noel Leighton head against the bar as they had the better of the first-half chances before Fraser Barlow went close for the hosts shortly before the interval.
Bulls goalkeeper Euan van der Vliet made a superb double save early in the second half to keep his side in it before Jamie Watling put Bulls ahead.
He rose highest to nod home Rai Dos Santos' 76th-minute free kick to send Springfield wild.
But Three Bridges responded instantly as Leighton got in front of his marker to convert Reece Hallard's cross.
The point was the second time in as many weeks that the two sides have draw in the league after the islanders came away from West Sussex with a 2-2 draw.
The draw extends Three Bridges' lead at then top of the table to two points while Bulls remain in 15th place after their sixth draw in 11 league games.
