Campbell went close from a Fraser Barlow free kick 10 minutes after the restart while Luke Watson headed a Barlow delivery against the post five minutes the deadlock was broken soon after as Lorne Bickley broke through, and while goalkeeper Harry White saved his effort, Joe Kilshaw was there to slam home the rebound. Goalkeeper Piers Roche did well to deny Sandhurst with 19 minutes to go before Bulls had a series of chances in stoppage islanders hit the post before Bickley brought two excellent close-range saves from White while Francis Lekimamati hit the bar. But while Bulls earned their 30th victory of the season, it was Redhill who were celebrating as they look to have won the title.
