The island's newest football club play their first-ever league fixture this afternoon.

Jersey Bulls kick-off their Combined Counties Divison One campaign at Springfield against Ash United.

Kick-off is at 3pm.

Assistant Manager Kevin Nelson says preparation has gone well.

"Everyone has impressed me over the course of pre-season. More than I expected but certain people have stood out and probably dragged themselves into this squad.

"The 18 that we've got is really strong."

Bulls Assistant Manager Kevin Nelson has his say ahead of the new season this weekend.
