Jersey Bulls kept their ridiculous 28-game unbeaten streak alive today, but man, did they make it hard on themselves with a wild 3-3 draw against Windsor and Eton in Isthmian League South Central. That point extends their incredible run, which goes all the way back to December 30, 2025. What a ride these guys are on, even when they’re playing with a man down!
Red Card Chaos and Big Saves
Things got real quick after a slow start. Windsor and Eton got on the board first, with Morgan Elliott heading in a floated free kick in the 13th minute. But hold up, the Bulls answered back almost immediately! Top scorer Lorne Bickley blasted one home just two minutes later after a ball from James Sunley. Then came the drama. Jarma Mohamed had a Bulls goal called off for offside, and a minute later, boom, Jay Giles was hit with a straight red card for a dangerous tackle. Playing with 10 men before the 30-minute mark? That’s a tough break. Goalie Euan van der Vliet had to put on a clinic, making two excellent saves as the first half wound down, keeping them in it after Windsor’s Jordi Ebanda missed a solid chance.
Wild Swings and a Heartbreaking Finish
Despite being down a man, Casey Nixon forced a great save from Windsor’s Finley Purcell right after the break. Then, in the 50th minute, Sunley gave the islanders the lead! This guy picked up the ball in his own half, beat a bunch of defenders, and calmly finished past Purcell for his second goal in three games. What a solo effort! But you can’t blink in this league, ’cause a minute later, Bruno Dos Santos bagged his first goal of the season for the hosts, tying it up again. Bulls kept pushing, though, even with 10 guys on the field, with Luke Watson and Sammy Henia-Kamau both going close. And then, with just five minutes left, Sunley scored AGAIN, pouncing on a loose ball and coolly slotting it away! You thought that was it, right? Nope. Kieran Jordan found the net just three minutes later, ensuring the points were shared. Man, that stings!
This draw keeps the Bulls second in the table, still seven points behind leaders Bognor Regis Town, and now third-placed Raynes Park Vale is just a point back. They’ve gotta regroup fast. What a wild ride these Bulls are on, 28 games and counting!
