Jersey Bulls won their first-ever match in the English pyramid, with a 7-0 success over Old Tiffinians in the South East Counties League.

Leah Morris got the history-making fixture at Springfield Stadium off to a great start, with a brace for the Channel Islanders inside the opening dozen minutes.

Sam Silva-Pinto also struck twice, with Ella Brennand, Anita Tavares and Holly Sundby adding one each against the East-Molesey based visitors.

A number of the squad recently represented Jersey at the Island Games and play in the four-club JFA Combination, for whom they can still appear under dual-registration terms.

The step for the island side into the English football pyramid comes days after Guernsey also had a successful start to their own move into the Southern League Division 1 South.

The Bulls adventure in Surrey Division 1 – one of ten divisions in the league for Kent and Surrey – continues at home to initial leaders Ash United on Sunday 28 September, with more of a challenge expected from the 18-1 opening-day victors

The Bulls make their first trip to the mainland late next month to Milford & Witley.
