Jersey Bulls' unbeaten run ends at Sheppey United

Action from a Jersey Bulls match

Jersey Bulls suffered their first-ever eighth tier defeat as they went down 2-1 at Sheppey United in Isthmian League South East.

Bulls should have taken the lead in the first quarter of a goalless opening period as Lorne Bickley was thwarted by a good save before Toby Ritzema blasted over with the goal gaping.

Bickley and James Queree went close three minutes after the restart before Dieko Falade gave the hosts a 50th-minute lead.

But Queree got on the scoresheet from the penalty spot nine minutes later after Ritzema had been fouled in the box.

Both sides had efforts to try and take all three points, but just as Bulls thought they would get another away point Julien Anau broke their hearts with a winner in the second minute of stoppage time.

"I think we haven't applied ourselves anywhere near good enough in possession, out of possession, it's not a performance to be proud of," Jersey Bulls boss Elliot Powell told BBC Radio Jersey.

"Apologies to the fans that have travelled over and spent hard-earned money watching that because it wasn't anything like what we've been for the last 18 months.

"Credit needs to go to the lads that those bad days at the office are a few and far between, but they still aren't acceptable when they do happen."
