Twenty minutes was too short .....

18th January 2026

Due to my assignments on Sunday being spread around our (admittedly small) Island my time at Victoria Park was rather short and sweet!

I ended up dashing back across the slippery causeway from Lihou Island, after covering the volunteers helping to repair and tidy up the storm damage, to then cross Guernsey to Victoria Park. A journey not helped whilst following the many road closures and detours that remain from storm felled trees.

So by the time I arrived at the game between the Guernsey Lionesses and Bemerton Heath Harlequins the second half had already begun. As I needed to submit my earlier photos ASAP I allowed just twenty minutes to grab a few photos and the 1-1 score told me that I'd missed a tight first half.

Sure enough, that was how the game progressed. I had few chances to get great action photos and when I left, with the score still at 1-1, I thought that was going to be it.

But, sadly, I found out later the the Lionesses conceded a goal in the last minute of play! It's not over till the ref blows his final whistle!

My quick edit of photos is now online here:
