JERSEY Bulls ace Lorne Bickley came to his side’s rescue with a fine finish late on, securing a FA Vase third-round place for the Islanders.

The superb Fraser Barlow nodded the visitors into an early lead but despite enjoying plenty of the ball, Holyport deservedly hit back through a Kritpac Dzimba header just before the hour mark.

With something to defend, Sam Lock’s men showed the minerals you might not expect to see from a side struggling for league form.

But with the lottery of a penalty shootout minutes away, their stubborn resistance was broken as Bickley swept home the winner.

Their boss Gary Freeman acknowledged while his side weren’t at their best, gritting out a result was the most important takeaway.
