We then have 2 midweek games in two days as well. I expect we'll then mix and match squads for the two sets of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Bristol Manor Farm game will include youth players. Sure SL will want the first team out in Guernsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure SL will want the first team out in Guernsey. I'm sure both games will be a mush mash of players, youth, senior & a couple of trialists, with 11 subs per game, just to give everyone a bit of a run out to blow away the cobwebs. I'm sure professional footballers can cope with 90 mins of football, spread over 2 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 http://www.guernseyfc.com/the-club Guernsey Football Club was formed in 2011 to offer the island's elite footballers the opportunity to progress and test themselves on a regular basis outside of the Channel Islands. The proposal to establish the club and seek to join the English national league pyramid system was developed by the Guernsey Football Association in an attempt to further advance development opportunities for the island's current and future players by playing at higher levels on a regular basis. We are an independent, community amateur football club which play in the Ryman Isthmian League Division One South at Step Four on English football's non-league pyramid system. The club is owned and run for the benefit of the local Guernsey community and it plays its home games at the Footes Lane Stadium. Last season the club finished 13th in their division with home attendances of 600 - 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
