Jersey Bulls ended the season with a 19-game unbeaten run
Jersey Bulls manager Elliot Powell has backed his "resilient" players to recover from their play-off semi-final disappointment.
The island side lost 4-3 on penalties to AFC Whyteleafe on Tuesday in the Isthmian League South East play-offs.
It means a second season in the eighth-tier league for the islanders, who finished third this season after winning promotion via the play-offs a year ago.
"We'll dust ourselves down and the preparation for next season starts next week," Powell told BBC Radio Jersey.
