Harrow Borough end Jersey Bulls’ FA Trophy run

Jersey Bulls’ FA Trophy campaign came to an abrupt end after a 4-0 defeat away to Harrow Borough in the second qualifying round.

The home side struck early, with Lenny Farhall opening the scoring just five minutes in. The Bulls responded through Miguel Carvalho, who went close soon after, but Harrow quickly took control.

Farhall doubled the lead with a smart finish at the near post before completing his hat-trick less than a minute later, racing clear and slotting calmly past goalkeeper Daniel Jinadu.

Carvalho nearly pulled one back in first-half stoppage time when his effort was cleared off the line, and although the rebound was bundled over, the flag was raised for offside.

After the interval, Fraser Barlow had a penalty shout waved away before Rai Dos Santos went close with a driven effort. But Harrow sealed the result ten minutes from time when Nawaf Miller weaved through the defence, exchanged passes, and finished neatly for their fourth.

Jinadu denied Alfie Tucker with a fine save from a late free kick, but by then the damage was long done.

The result marks a second cup exit in the space of a week for the Bulls, who were knocked out of the FA Cup by Worthing after a 5-0 replay defeat in midweek.
