Jersey Bulls march on

This is what the Jersey Bulls reaction was at the end of the match. 

Jersey Bulls thrashed VCD Athletic FC in their FA Cup first qualifying round match. This what the Jersey Bulls website said: 

"The Bulls kicked off attacking the Town End against a strongly built V.C.D. team that many spectators thought would be difficult to break down. Despite this Jersey took the lead after just three minutes. Sol Solomon collected the ball near the half way line on the grandstand side and initially headed towards his own goal before turning quickly and lobbing the ball forward. 

"The bouncing ball eluded Jack Barry as Fraser Barlow chased after it and it fell to Barlow just outside the area as Sam Mott advanced from his goal. Barlow did excellently to lift it over Mott and the crowd held its breath for what seemed an age as the ball dropped in to the right-hand corner."
