The Green Lions like to keep us waiting....
27th April 2026
Well Guernsey FC certainly kept us waiting for the win when they hosted Lancing FC in the final throes of the Southern Combination Premier Division at Victoria Park!
The game finished with a strong score-line of 3-0. But as so often is the case this didn't tell the full story.
Whilst the Green Lions looked the more inventive side for most of the play it required two inspired substitution's with a quarter of an hour left on the clock to record the win!
GFC now have a home game to look forward to in the play-offs.

Overwhelmed by cyclists and lycra.....
26th April 2026
The first cycle event on Sunday morning took me way out to Rocquaine for the Guernsey Triathlon Club's Rocquaine Duathlon.
The reward for the early start was a very pleasant work-place with the backdrop of the still sea, sunny and calm.
There is always an inevitable wait whilst the athletes complete the cycle route but I was kept amused by the banter of the recreational cyclists. The usual question is 'why don't you want to take a photo of me?'
Well this might surprise a few of them as I'm going to add a new gallery featuring some random photos. I think an apt title would be something like 'Cyclists & Lycra'!

The Guernsey Eisteddfod... the friendliest of competitions.....
23rd April 2026
The Guernsey Eisteddfod has been a showcase for thousands of people's talents for decades. It has given Islanders an opportunity to develop their creativity and artistic abilities.
Underlying all the many Classes available is a friendly and supportive system of comment and judging on participants entries.
I had the opportunity to photograph some of the 2026 Roller Skating performances at Beau Sejour and I found the skaters to be incredibly supportive to each other, even those chasing the same trophy!
I've uploaded a few photos of the Roller Skaters. Click this link if you are interested:

Shooting Softball for a change.....
21st April 2026
The Guernsey Softball Association's A Team scored an impressive win over the Jersey Softball Association's visiting side at Beau Sejour in the Softball Muratti on Saturday.
The bright and sunny day encouraged a really good crowd of supporters for all the matches and the result was inter-island sport at its best.
Sure it was competitive, but that was mixed with friendship and a shared love of Softball.
I've added the first Gallery of photos featuring the main Muratti game. It will be followed by the B side Muratti and the Upton A. Keep a check on the website if you are interested:

Was this the busiest weekend ever?
19th April 2026
What an amazing weekend of Sport in Guernsey. But I was burned out by the end.... and I only covered a small part of what was going on.
Starting Friday evening with a Stranger Cup Semi-final at Victoria Park then moving straight on to St Pierre Park Hotel for a very late night photographing 12 Bouts of Dinner Boxing!
Then Saturday..... how about three games of Guernsey Softball Association at Beau Sejour, two Muratti's and an Upton!
In between those games I popped inside for two Inter-insular Guernsey Volleyball games!
And just to top off the weekend, and to make sure I won't emerge from the office whilst I complete the edits, on Sunday I was back at Beausie for another two games of Volleyball.
Submissions had to be turned around quickly for the Guernsey Press and the JEP.... and now the edits have started to be uploaded to my website. Phew...
Here's a link to a couple of Guernsey Volleyball galleries. More to follow:

When the Sahara Desert came to Guernsey.....
12th April 2026
Like everyone who spent time at the GK&MC 2-Day Motocross meeting I left the event covered in dust. In fact I looked like I'd been in a Saharan desert sand storm!
Whilst I was at the track on Saturday morning the strong wind was lifting clouds of dust off the surface even between races!
This eventually resulted in the B Group Class, which had the biggest entry, having a race re-started with riders in-line after a dramatic crash occurred at the first start.
Anyon Robilliard had a spectacular try at flying after launching off a bank. When he landed and rolled onto the track the poor visibility from the dust meant the following riders couldn't see to take avoiding action!
Overall there was a really good entry and a large crowd was entertained to some great racing.
I had to pack all my coverage into just a couple of hours as I had a list of other events but I ended up with a nice full Gallery of photos.

Lets have more of the same this Hillclimbing season....
09th April 2026
The Guernsey Motor Cycle & Car Club's 2026 Hillclimb season at Le Val des Terres started with a very positive note.
Firstly the day was dry! This is a feature we all hope to carry through the whole season, please!
Secondly, my walk down the pits on the way to signing in was most enjoyable and optimistic as new faces and machinery were spotted... it's always great to see additions to the line-up.
But the best part was noting the return of a few favourites. Charlie and Justin Smith's eye-catching Pillbeam MP43C and the stylish and fast rider Jade Ferbrache were notable returns after taking breaks of 15 years and 2 years from the Sport.
I was only given a couple of hours/runs at the hill before I had to move on to the next job but it was great to be back.
I know that there were a few issues with some of the new timing gear but I'm really pleased that I haven't seen competitors moaning about their loss of times and runs. Too often in the past there have been selfish remarks by people who failed to understand the complexity of the system and the huge commitment of time and resources given freely by all the organisers.
This tolerant attitude is something that would be great to see continue through the season too.
I captured some of the action and there's a new Gallery online if you are interested:

Guernsey Snooker Island Semi-finals online.....
08th April 2026
A real quickie post to give you a link to the Guernsey Snooker 2026 Island Semi-finals photo Gallery.
The North Social Club hosted the two games, one downstairs in the main Snooker Hall with the second being played in the very smart upstairs room.
This features two tables and apparently was refurbished and opened about 18 months ago. Its a great addition for local Snooker players. I'm sure I'll be back there again soon.

I've ticked another Sports photo box.....
06th April 2026
I had to make a short detour when I left the GMC&CC Hillclimb at Les Val des Terres on Monday.
Before I headed off to the GFC v Forest Row football at Victoria Park I made the steep climb up Havelet hill towards the Dorset Arms.
I was assigned to photograph the Guernsey Pool Association's A7 Easter Cup competition.
This was a first for me and another Sport's box ticked. I've already photographed Snooker (many times) and Bar Billiards. So I've had to add another Photo Gallery to the website.

The first of many Easter jobs,,,,,,
05th April 2026
This was another event on the long list of Easter 2026 assignments.
The 2026 Badminton Open was the 'starter' on Friday evening.
Badminton is always a challenge to photograph but when it is at the Guernsey Badminton Association LBG Easter Open the difficulty ratchets up a notch!
The 2026 Guernsey Open had an incredible entry meaning that the action on court was literally non-stop. This greatly reduced my access and opportunity to move around to frame my shots!
When those situations occur there is only one option for a photographer and that is to focus, concentrate on what is possible and get to work!
I've just added a Gallery of the photos I managed to capture. I know they could have been better.... but at least I know I did the best I could....

Busy, busy, busy.... just as I like it!
03rd April 2026
Easter always seems to herald the time of year when Sports and Social events really start coming up to speed.
This year certainly isn't any different as the Easter 2026 weekend sees me committed to photograph eleven events.
They vary from a GVC Criterium to a Church Craft morning, Motorsport racing to a Music Festival, Badminton to Pool and Football with others in between!
I love being busy and to top that off with so much variety is brilliant.
I've been working on some of the first edits and a new Gallery featuring the GVC Chouet Criterium is now online. Click the link to view the photos:
