Jersey Bulls beat already-relegated East Grinstead Town 3-0 to further increase their play-off hopes in Isthmian League South East.
The islanders, who have not lost in 2026, won for the eighth time in nine games to stay in fourth place.
Bulls needed just three minutes to go ahead as Luke Campbell's header from a corner was adjudged to have crossed the line before being cleared by a defender.
Rai Dos Santos blasted an effort just over the bar moments later as Bulls faced the league's bottom side in front of a packed Springfield.
Bickley shot against the crossbar 12 minutes from the break before Dos Santos scored for the eighth time in six games shortly before the interval as he powered home a shot.
Bulls had the perfect start to the second half as James Sunley fired in a minute after the restart following good work by Bickley and Harry Curtis.
The islanders continued to have chances as Bickley, Stan Dunne and Toby Ritzema went close before East Grinstead goalkeeper Harry Howes made a string of excellent late saves.
With three games to go Bulls' superior goal difference means that barring an unlikely turnaround they need just one more win to ensure a place in the top five.
