Jersey Bulls out of FA Cup after Worthing replay defeat

Worthing's visit to Springfield on Saturday was Jersey Bulls' first-ever competitive game against a side from the sixth tier

Jersey Bulls were knocked out of the FA Cup after losing their second qualifying round replay 5-0 at National League South side Worthing.

Having drawn 2-2 at Springfield on Saturday the amateur eighth-tier islanders struggled to match their the semi-professional sixth tier opponents as they conceded four second-half goals.

Worthing dominated the early exchanges, although Bulls felt aggrieved when home goalkeeper Seb Stacey was only yellow carded after bringing down Lorne Bickley when through on goal after 25 minutes.

Ten minutes later the hosts went ahead when Temi Babalola stooped to head home Razzaq Coleman De-Graft's cross after a quickly-taken corner.

Odei Martin Sorondo hit the Jersey bar with fierce 40th minute strike while Babalola went close a minute later as Worthing led at the break.

Joe Cook was credited with Worthing's second goal five minutes after the restart following a goalmouth scramble, and three minutes later the tie was safe when Babalola made it 3-0 - the striker swivelled in the penalty area before blasting past Bulls goalkeeper Euan van der Vliet.

Worthing substitute Jack Spong narrowly missed a fourth soon after before Babalola completed his hat-trick with 18 minutes to go as he fired into the bottom corner from inside the box.

Harry Mackenzie shot over the bar with Bulls' only decent chance with 10 minutes left as Nicky Wheeler, Spong and Coleman De-Graft all went close before Brad Dolaghan headed in Worthing's fifth in the final minute.

Worthing will travel to Southern League Premier South side Wimborne Town in the third qualifying round later this month.
