Goal fest at Footes Lane....

After scoring the first goal GFC seemed to be making the perfect start to the game but just seconds later the visiting Basingstoke Town levelled the score after being given a penalty.

Guernsey Football Club then seemed to loose their way a bit. They were always on the back foot and the halftime score of 1-3 reflected the play.

But our local side dug deeper in the second half and returned to their familiar style of play by being more direct and chasing every ball. It still took all the minutes of play plus added time to pull back a draw... at four all!

Ultimately the result probably reflected the up and down nature of the play and I have to say well done to GFC for not giving up. This spirit was epitomised, as is often the case, by Ross Allen who turned things around with his two goals!

And I think there has to be a special mention for Glenn Le Tissier who came on from the bench with just minutes of play left and scored the Guernsey equaliser with his first touch! The final result 4-4, we'll call that a good result for the GFC>
