Sheerwater exited the FA Cup with a 4-1 defeat at Isthmian League South Central Division outfit Jersey Bulls in the preliminary round on Saturday.

The Sheers took the lead on 13 minutes at the Springfield Stadium when Theo White’s scuffed shot found Harvey Valter, who tucked the ball home.

The Bulls equalised in the 29th minute when Luke Watson’s pass found Sammy Kamau, who showed quick feet before finishing past Sheers keeper Joe Hill.

The hosts took the lead shortly afterwards when Kamau flicked a shot goalwards that took a slight deflection on its way in to score his second of the afternoon.

The Bulls scored their third on 37 minutes when Lorne Bickley used his strength to get into the box before firing his shot past Hill.

Kamau completed his hat-trick in the 59th minute when he side-footed the ball home to make it 4-1.
