I returned for the third day in a row to Victoria on Sunday afternoon.

This time it was to photograph another Strangers Cup game.

The clash was between Bels and Rovers and it was the Rovers who deserved the win.

I'm not expecting to return to Victoria Park until Saturday... but I can never be sure!

Guernsey FC earned themselves an important win in the Southern Combination Premier Division at Victoria Park on Saturday.

The visiting side from AFC Varndeanians were placed near the bottom of the league but these are the games that can trip up GFC as they chase the chance to feature in the end of season play-offs.

So whilst this wasn't GFC's best performance they did manage a win and that qualifies as another job well done.

With a big entry for the first event in the 2026 Guernsey Series of Darts I think this is going to be an interesting one to follow.

The Series kicked off at the Ex Serviceman's Club on Saturday and I just managed to pop along after photographing the GFC v Varndeanians game at Victoria Park.

I hope to cover more of this Series as it makes a change and a different challenge when compared to the 'usual' Sports I photograph.

Finding angles where I'm not distracting players and working in very low light top the list of challenges. On this occasion the light level was very low... much darker than you would think when viewing the photos.

It was definitely a night for the thermals on Friday at Victoria Park.

I'd been sent along to photograph the Stranger Cup game between Sylvans and Saints. I was very tempted to join the teams on the pitch as running around might have kept my feet warm!

Well I did have my football boots on so maybe I'd of gone un-noticed?

Thankfully my cameras were untroubled by the chill and I managed to capture some of the action!

That was the perfect way to blow away the cobwebs after the usual excesses of the festive season.

You can't beat a chilly wind coming straight from the sea at L'Ancresse Bay to do the job well!

There was a great turn-out of runners for the 2025 Guernsey Athletics Boxing Day Cross Country.

At the start, as I looked around to see who was putting on their running shoes I got an impression that some people had avoided a second helping of mince pies and sherry... in reverence to the sport and their performance!

And then there were the casual athletes who where on the common as a penance for all the wrong doing of the day before!

Either way I'm sure that all finishers enjoyed completing the challenge!

I've been longing to get a free afternoon to visit one of the Guernsey Motor Cycle & Car Club's Trials meetings.

I was rather lucky that the first diary date I've had free for many weeks was on a nice bright Sunday afternoon. However that doesn't mean that the conditions facing the riders was 'mud free'... far from it!

But that's all part of this motor sport and there were plenty of smiles on the faces of riders, so it couldn't have been too bad!

Keeping to this years theme of me being assigned to cover any event with Christmas in the title I found myself on Sunday morning on the sands of Grande Rocques beach.

This time the 'Christmas' link was all to do with dogs and knitted jumpers!

I was at the annual Sausage Walks Guernsey Facebook group Christmas outing... specifically for the local Dachshunds.

This was so much fun to photograph as there was so much action, colour and character.

So this was not the easiest of jobs but I think I managed to capture a few of the stars!

I've not photographed a Guernsey Priaulx League football game for a while. My time has been allocated to the GFC games at Victoria Park.

So it was nice to have a chance to capture the action at Blanche Pierre Lane as Saints hosted the current league leaders North.

Sadly I wasn't entertained by a game where the two sides effectively cancelled out and neutralised each other leading to very few highlights.

But it wasn't all bad... it was a bright and dry day, so I can at least say that that part made my day.

One of the final events in the Guernsey School of Popular Music's calendar is also one of my favourites of the year.

The event is titled 'Music for Everyone' and that pretty well sums it up.

The format of the show, which is held in the theatre at Beau Sejour, is to give individual students the chance to perform as part of a professional band made up of SoPM tutors.

Once the students have 'done their thing' they recount what their own musical journey has been like on the road to taking the spotlight on stage.

After the event I'm always so impressed how well the 'Music for Everyone' title perfectly tells the story.

My photos of the 2025 show are now online:

The men's Guernsey FC side pulled off a dominate performance against the visiting Little Common side at Victoria Park.

The final result of 4-1 for the Green Lions actually reversed the score the Lionesses finished at during the same weekend.

The local lads are really enjoying a good run of wins at the moment and the momentum is something supporters are loving.

Keep it up guys!

Yes, it's that time of year again and the Panto season is upon us.

I usually find myself photographing one of the shows and this year I was at a rehearsal of the St Stephens Church 'Cinderella - The Fairy Godmother of all Pantomimes'.

There was disappointment in the stands at Victoria Park after the Guernsey FC Women struggled to find their rhythm when they faced the visitors from Bursledon.

The final score was 1-4 and that was probably a fair reflection of the play.

The GFC Women's side is giving some of the younger players in the squad some game time and as they build on their experience and develop their skills we can hope for our ladie's side to make a come-back.

I photographed the game and the photos are now online. Click the link to view the Gallery:
