Football promotion 'would put Jersey on the map'

A Jersey Bulls fan says promotion for the football team "would put the island on the map".

Ollie Boletta, 18, has been supporting the Bulls for three years and regularly travels away to watch their matches.

He watched the Bulls slip to second in the league after their 2-1 defeat at Springfield against promotion rivals Redhill.

But Mr Boletta said he was confident the team could turn things around in the next away fixture before securing the title with a home win this weekend.

The team travel to mid-table Abbey Rangers on Tuesday night, knowing a win would leave them on the cusp of sealing the Combined Counties Premier South.

Mr Boletta said: "I don't mind a scrappy 1-0 victory... I'm quite nervous but I'm confident in the players.

"It would just be a party time if we win and then secure promotion at Springfield, and there's a few decent teams in Step 4 which would put the island on the map."
