After scoring seven goals in their first appearance in the Southern Region Woman's League the GFC Women's Green Lionesses should be very happy. This has to go down as a fantastic start to their season.

If they can maintain that level of goal scoring they are on the road to glory.

But the whole picture sees a score line of 7-5 revealing the Lionesses vulnerability at the back. When you factor in that six of the Lionesses goals were scored by one player, Calleigh Hedley, there is clearly some work to do. Wimborne Town showed that there are going to be some hard games ahead.

However this was just the start the side needed and we can now all look ahead to the next game... and loads more goals too!

This year it seems to me that the 2024 Guernsey Football Association season was only just finished when football was back in action again.

There have been various Cups to play for and whilst still early I think the money has to be on St Martins to pick up the majority of the silverware!

Taking home three out of three of the traditional curtain-raiser Cups must surely have set them up as the seasons favourites?

But can they keep form through to the end? Time will tell.

For now they've added another Cup to the trophy cabinet after beating North at Victoria Park in the Martinez Cup Final.

What a great way to spend an early summer's morning in Guernsey..... and I hasten to say that I was spectating.... not taking part! No chance of that, eh!!

I was down at Pembroke Bay to photograph the 2025 Inter-insular Triathlon between Guernsey and Jersey.

There was a good sized entry with a choice of distances allowing athletes to compete at a level that they felt comfortable. I know I've said it before but I'm always surprised how many smiles competitors manage for the camera whilst they push through the pain barrier!

Well done to everyone who took part.

This was a new one for me. I'd not seen anything quite so brutal as the Track Attack event before.

I was at Footes Lane for the Storm Force Fitness (Guernsey) Tornado Fitness Racing event.

I only had a short time to photograph the various disciplines before I had to leave. But after capturing a few quick pics I was left wondering why anyone would volunteer to put their body and mind through such a torturous event?

Answers on a postcard please.......

First stop on Sunday morning was Petit Bot valley for Round 5 of the GVC Gravity Series. This championship is proving to be really competitive with just seconds separating the top riders.

I had to complete the shoot early due to other jobs but I did capture some of the action. Click the link if you are interested:

That's the final 2025 Guernsey Velo Club Tour of Guernsey box ticked.... job done!

Round 6 didn't let up on the endurance front with riders facing an energy sapping Long Course Cross Country at Pleinmont.

I've really enjoyed photographing the week long event with perhaps the best part being track-side near to the youngest Club members who really didn't stop chattering and encouraging their seniors every time they passed!

.....best phases have to be 'go on, send it' or 'come on, this isn't slow-mo'

Love 'em!

Keeping to the script the Guernsey Velo Club's 2025 Tour of Guernsey offered another format of racing for Round 5.

The evening's competition was in the form of a Time Trial with a novelty finish in the darkness of the German Underground Hospital.

With just one more event to go on Sunday I reckon that Saturday's rest day will be very welcome!

Round 4 of the Guernsey Velo Club's 2025 Tour of Guernsey was fun for some, and a horror event for others!

The idea behind the week-long Tour is that competitors are given a variety of challenges to complete. Many favour the fittest riders but there is always a twist in the tail too!

And Thursday's Round was it! A Skills Test had been created at Thorton's and Lance's which turned the tables on who the top riders on the night would be. Stamina wouldn't guarantee top points and I noticed that some of the youngest riders revelled in the challenges.

There were certainly quite a few 'offs' but hopefully everyone will be back for Round-5.

The Jersey Rounds of the 2025 British National Hillclimb Championship were impacted by the change of operators of the Channel Island ferry services.

The Jersey Rounds had to be moved forward to Tuesday to enable the visiting competitors to catch Wednesday's (the only option available) ferry to Guernsey for that Islands Saturday event.

The extra demand on time and commitment meant a reduced number of entries in Jersey. The racing was still good and competitive but we all hope that the ferry timetables improve greatly for 2026.

Round 2 of the Guernsey Velo Club's Tour of Guernsey was held at Pomare on a glorious summers evening. There was a great atmosphere as friends and families encouraged the riders to push harder on the Short-track XC course.

This is an excellent event which highlights the Sport with a backdrop of beautiful Guernsey.

What a great start (but a VERY hot one) to the Guernsey Velo Club's 2025 Tour of Guernsey.

First job on Sunday morning was a quick visit to the Guernsey Athletics Fathers Day 10k road run.

Unfortunately my time available was limited so I only had a chance to photograph a few of the first runners before moving on.

So I guess this means that if you really want your pic taken you need to pick up the pace a bit!

A little harsh I know... and it was already hot at 10am!

So well done to all the runners. I'll try and do better next time.

There was lots of activity spread around all the Guernsey Athletics ground at Footes Lane on Thursday evening.

Whilst I was there specifically to photograph the Aztec Field Fest it was clear that the facilities are used throughout the week by the Club as they train and encourage athletes across all the disciplines.

As we enjoyed the lovely sunny evening it was a pleasure capturing photos of the High Jump, Javelin and Triple Jump.

Fantastic racing at the GVC Adventure Cycles 2025 Gravity Series_Round 4. The morning's action was spread over two venues, the Ronez Quarry MTB trail and at the Guet.

There was a (soon to be legendary) jump at the Guet which certainly sorted the men from the boys... well you had to be over 18 to even try it!

However a few of the youngsters I spoke to said that, given the chance, they would have been up for it! They know no fear!

Check out my photos for all the action:

Photos of the 2025 Rangers Super 7's Football event at KGV are now online.

This two-day competition and celebration of our future football stars has to be one of the biggest and busiest Sports events in the Guernsey calendar....

After a weather delayed start it was touch and go whether I'd have time to fit in coverage of the recent U16 Girls and Senior Men's Basketball Inter-insulars.

In the end I managed to get away from the Rangers 7's football for a short time and I've added my Basketball photos to the website.

With the footie season coming to an end another Guernsey Football Association final showcasing the Islands future stars has taken place.

This was the other game of the 'double-header' at the Corbet Field when the Corbet Cup was also contested.

The finalists for the Corbet Shield were Rihoy North v Rovers and it was Rihoy North who lifted the Shield with a 5-1 victory.

Great win guys.

I have one thing to say after photographing the Corbet Cup Final.

Never let it be said that Junior football can be a little boring!

This clash of the evenly matched finalists produced an amazing game. It wasn't the amount of goals scored it was the energy and skills showcased by the Sylvans Reds and Vale Rec Greens.

The whole evening was lifted to a higher level by the volume of the two teams supporters packing the stand at the Corbet field.

My congratulations go to Sylvans for their win... but as they say 'it takes two to tango' and the young 'Rec team played their hearts out and they were so disappointed to lose.

It's an Island tradition but also one of my own.

This is the start of Guernsey's Liberation Day.

Two of the first events of the day are the running (literally) of the LIB 7 Road Race from Rousse to St Peter Port and the Liberation Day Schools Relay along the St Peter Port seafront.

The challenge for me is being at the start of the LIB 7 at 9am then get along to Town for the Schools Relay at 9.15am.

You can probably work it out that this is near impossible - especially as town parking on Lib Day is greatly reduced!

I failed the impossible but did arrive just in time to photograph the end of the ladies race, phew!

Both events have a few photos online. Click the link to view them:
