A Sammy Henia-Kamau hat trick helped Jersey Bulls into the next qualifying round of the FA Cup.
The winger’s treble and a strike from Lorne Bickley secured a 4-1 victory over Sheerwater at Springfield Stadium.
It was the visitors who struck first, after a scuffed effort found its way to striker Harvey Valter, who slid the ball home.
He had a golden chance to double the lead a short time later, but sent a free header over from close range.
Elliot Powell’s side then gained control and, after Bickley missed with a close-range header of his own, Henia-Kamau managed to wriggle clear in the box and strike home an equaliser.
The number 21 then flicked a header home to turn the game on its head just three minutes later, before Bickley showed incredible strength to power past the Sheerwater defence to slide home a third in the 37th minute.
Henia-Kamau was denied by an offside flag and a good block at the start of the second half, but wouldn’t be denied for long.
A good cross from James Carr was expertly finished first-time by Henia-Kamau to complete his hat-trick.
The win takes Jersey Bulls into the first qualifying round, which is set to take place on the first weekend of September.
The draw for the next round will be made on Monday (24 August).
