THE cruel lottery of penalties ended Jersey Bulls U18s’ FA Youth Cup journey, as Paul Renton’s side lost 4-3 in a shoot-out following a 0-0 draw.
The Islanders had the better of the chances against Horsham, Harry Scott missing from three yards and Sammy Henia-Kamau, the match-winner in the preliminary round at Burgess Hill, drawing two brilliant saves from home ‘keeper, George Edgley.
But they couldn’t prize open a physical home side, leading to the drama from 12 yards.
Skipper Charlie Brennan and Miguel Carvalho missed Bulls’ first two spot kicks, from which they could not recover.
Horsham booked a trip to Kingstonian in the next round.
