Jersey Bulls hold Burgess Hill Town to a draw in FA Cup

Jersey Bulls earned a 0-0 draw against Burgess Hill Town in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup. Playing away from home under caretaker manager Martin Cassidy, the islanders relied on a strong defensive performance to keep the Isthmian League Premier Division side scoreless. Goalkeeper Euan van der Vliet and the back four drew praise for their ability to neutralize the opposition. Despite having chances to secure a win in the closing stages, the side will now return to Burgess Hill Town for a replay on Tuesday night. FA Cup regulations prevent the islanders from hosting the replay, as Channel Island teams are only permitted to host matches if initially drawn at home.
