Photos of Round 3 of the Guernsey Velo Club's Cycleworld 2025 Cyclocross Series at Mont Herault are now online.

As you can see, the Sunday morning race was held on a bright day with the beautiful backdrop of Guernsey's south coast cliffs. What isn't so obvious is that an autumn chill was just making its presence noticeable... not that the riders would be bothered by that!

On Friday I was back at St Pierre Park Hotel as the Guernsey Dinner Boxing Club's summer break ended. Sadly their November 'Boxing at the Park' night proves that autumn has arrived along with the shorter days.

The Guernsey team faced a strong line-up from St Paul's Hull.

It was helpful that a couple of junior bouts were first on the bill as I'm always a bit rusty after several months away from the ring-side!

So after a trigger-happy start I eventually got back in the swing and the results are now online. Click the link if you are interested:

The Global Collection Festival was created five years ago by Jon Bisson and Gregory Harrison.

Their original concept has grown and developed since then but it is still centred around three venues within St James Guernsey, The Whittacker Hall, The Pit and The Café.

Additional performances could also be enjoyed at the Old Government House Hotel.

The 2025 edition of the GCF was held over three days and nights and featured an amazing line-up of exciting artists and I'm certain that every one of the music lovers who attended during the three days would have discovered a new act to follow!

Thank you St James for enriching our lives once again.

Last Saturday I was at St Pierre Park Hotel with the Guernsey Press team to cover their 2025 Pride of Guernsey Awards.

Once again the evening celebrated the most amazing people and the acts of kindness and achievements they performed during the last twelve months.

The photographers team consisted of just two of us so it really was non-stop action as we made sure we captured all the emotions and smiles.

I've now uploaded a new Gallery featuring my photos of the awards night.

When I'm asked to cover a 'cup' game but I only have a limited time before I have to move on there is always a worry that I might miss all the action... the important moments.

What if nothing happens until after I leave?

What about extra time or even penalties?

So when I headed down to Victoria Park for the Isuzu FA Vase game between Guernsey FC and Staplehurst Monarchs and knowing that I had to head off early to photograph the Guernsey Pride Awards the question was 'will I get enough action photos in my limited time'?

Ha, what was I worried about! GFC where on fire from the whistle and treated us to ninety+ minutes of action in just the first twenty minutes of play!

The guys were unstoppable... although it did take around 35 minutes to find the back of the net!

GFC's players, at the moment, seem fired up with confidence. The balance of skills and telepathic understanding between players is fantastic to watch!

So whilst I was really disappointed to have to leave such an entertaining game early, I certainly didn't lack a few action photos!

The GFC Women maintained their unbeaten record so far this season when they played the visiting team, AFC Stoneham, at Victoria Park.

The 1-1 draw was a fair representation of the closely fought game where both teams performed well. Whilst this game didn't produce the goal fest that had come before it was encouraging that the GFC Women where able to adapt to a tighter game.

Well done to the ladies. Lets hope the good form lasts. You have certainly captured the interest among local supporters who look forward to the next game at Victoria Park.

GFC had a bit of a hiccup in their form when they met Pagham at Victoria Park in a Southern Combination Premier Division game.

After a great start and several missed chances it took forty minutes for GFC to make their mark.

But with the change of direction at half time the strong wind favoured Pagham and GFC paid the price of the earlier misses eventually dropping behind 2-4 by the whistle.

I visited the Pomare for the latest Round 6 in the Guernsey Velo Club's Adventure Cycles Gravity Series.

Once again it was a really competitive mornings racing as riders tried to perfect their lines and chip a second or two from their first timed run.

I've added a new Gallery featuring the photos I captured track side.

The traditional seasons-end hillclimb is the Guernsey Kart & Motor Club Petit Bot event. Sadly there is talk that if may disappear from the calendar.

The size of entry has been dropping and the costs of running the challenging event keep rising. Maybe a bi-annual visit will be the way to go? It would be a real shame if it disappeared completely.

I spent the morning photographing the action before I had to move on for another assignment. The gallery is now online here:

After the heated and dramatic abandonment of the original attempt to play the first-round of the Jeremie Cup between Sylvans and North there was understandably a concern that the replay might end in a game spoilt by the past.

But in fact I thought the game was a tribute to how the players behaved. Undoubtedly each team were highly motivated to get the win but this passion was in the main kept under control and the result was a fast, skilful game between two teams of fairly equal abilities.

North went home with the glory after winning 2-1 but it really could have gone either way.

I seem to live down Victoria Park at the moment. But there's certainly no time to doze as the non-stop action on the pitch keeps everyone entertained!

Sunday I was pitch side for the Women's GFC game against Andover New Street. The first ten minutes didn't look good for the local girls as they quickly fell two goals behind.

GFC pulled their play together as the game progressed and as the ninety minutes passed it was back to level pegging on 3-3.

But as the saying goes, it's never over until it's over and frustratingly in the sixth minute of extra time Andover snatched a goal... and the lead.

However they hadn't banked on the grit and competitiveness of the GFC ladies who used the last moments of the ten minutes of extra time to nab an equaliser and a deserved 4-4 draw!

Well done to our GFC Women on an amazing performance. My photos of the game are now online. Click the link to view them:
