'Underdog' Jersey Bulls targeting play-off place

Jersey Bulls manager Elliot Powell says his side are still "underdogs" in the race for a play-off place in Isthmian League South East.

The Bulls occupy the final play-off spot in their first season in the eighth tier of English football.

They are above sixth-placed Faversham Town on goal difference but have played one extra game than all their play-off rivals.

The island side are on a 10-match unbeaten run stretching back to the start of the year and have beaten two of their top-six rivals this year.

"I'm not too bothered about if we're in the playoffs now or not, we need to be in the playoffs on the 25 April," Powell told BBC Radio Jersey.

"There's games in hand around us, so it's still sort of not in our hands as such, it's still very much that we're the underdogs.

"But we're enjoying it. We're 10 games unbeaten beaten now, it's been a great run, three wins at this level consecutively for the first time ever.

"It's a good time to hit this stride, and we've got a really tough test next week on an absolute cabbage patch of a pitch at Erith, so that's going to be difficult, and if we can come through that unscathed then it'll start feeling like a real possibility."
