A late penalty saves the day...

After what can only be described as a miserable, wet afternoon photographing Guernsey Football Club playing against Bostik League team Whitstable at Footes Lane, the Green Lions managed to raise a small smile on mine... and spectators faces after they were given a late penalty... saving a 1-1 draw at the final whistle.

The Lions had looked like the better side at the start of the game but attention and motivation seemed to soon drift from players.

This allowed the visitors to snatch a goal against the flow of play up to that time.

The second half started with the GFC re-motivated and they chased every ball and came close to scoring several times. It was this pressure that won them a penalty. Sadly it was too late in the game to effect a turn-around and the draw had to be accepted.

So not a lot to brighten such a wet and windy day that saw me miserable and straining to see what I was doing through the wet specs, wet screen and wet lenses. Truthfully, I was relieved after completing the edit that I managed to shoot a few 'keepers'. Viewing the shots back in the studio was like seeing the scene for the first time!!

Thank you Nikon for producing such great cameras that, it seems, barely require a sighted photographer to capture great action!
