Bulls manager Elliott Powell commented to BBC Radio Jersey, stating, “I thought we looked a little bit leggy, but the most important thing is that we found a way.” He further added, “Credit to Joe Kilshaw who was a willing runner to get on the end of a good team move, so delighted with that.” Regarding Kilshaw, who was celebrating his 100th appearance for the club, Powell remarked, “I think he’s a changed player.” He elaborated, “I think he is getting into the opposition half an awful lot more, he’s affecting games in both directions as lot more.” Powell continued, “He’s got relentless energy – both for the goal and defensively after that I thought we saw that today and we have done all season.” Concluding his remarks, Powell stated, “I’m delighted for him, he’s a great lad and 100 appearances is a great achievement for a young lad of his age.”
