GUERNSEY ROUND UP – November A month with vey few scheduled fixtures and they were reduced by one when the only game on the opening Saturday, between Belgrave Wanderers and Vale Recreation was postponed, presumably due to the weather which, if it was anything like that experienced on the mainland South Coast would have been perfectly understandable. One game in midweek with Vale Rec defeating Rangers by five goals to…
Firstly, congratulations and all good wishes to our former player Marian State on his recent wedding in his native Romania and congratulations also to Steve Concanen who was part of the Guernsey FA side that recently defeated the Hampshire Premier league in the FA Inter League Cup. The score was five one and that accurately reflected the game. On the footballing side the first week of the month slightly dampened…
Two games in two days for Alderney to start the Month with mixed success. On a damp night at Corbet Field on Friday they overwhelmed Vale Recreation with two goals in each half. Joe Blackham started the ball rolling with a cool finish after just six minutes and Marian Staite added a second midway through the half. A sublime pass by Staite and superb finish by Ross Benfield made it…
GUERNSEY Priaulx League REVIEW MARCH A slow start to the month with only two games on the opening Saturday, one of which saw us defeat Vale Recreation two goals to one at Mount Hale. No goals in the first half but after the break Ciaran Stretton gave us the lead but Rec quickly levelled things and it was back to square one. Josh Concanen thumped a header against the bar…
After a three-week gap for Christmas and the New Year the Priaulx League re-commenced in the first week of January with three games on the Friday evening and one – ours – on the Saturday. Northerners beat the luckless Belgrave Wanderers six one – the latter have now conceded fifty-five goals in the League so far – and wins for our nearest rivals at the top of the table, St….
Last months Review ended with two games at the end of November, neither of which involved Alderney, being carried forward to this Review. In the event neither game was played. The Manzur/Northerners clash was postponed, presumably because of the weather, but the other game between Vale Recreation and the League leaders St. Martins, was awarded to the latter, again presumably, because the home side could not raise a team. So,…

GUERNSEY REVIEW NOVEMBER 2018 An almost football free start to the month with only one fixture scheduled for the opening Saturday. This was in the Rossborough FA Cup with Belgrave Wanderers defeating Railway League side BW Rangers 6-2 after extra time after the scores were level at two apiece at the end of ninety minutes. Four League matches the following weekend and despite the top three teams being involved the…
After a weather delay at Alderney airport our team eventually arrived in Guernsey for another away fixture and another superb result for the Nomads winning again away, against UCF Sylvans 1 – 3 goals from Ross Benfield, John Adamson, & Marian State, on a difficult small pitch in windy conditions. It sets up very nicely Saturdays fixture verses current league leaders St Martins. Come and also see our very professional…
Alderney continued their fine form with another impressive away display on Saturday verses 2nd in the league St Martins AC. Jason Atkins putting Alderney in front from a well directed free kick taken by player coach Josh Concanen. The 2nd half Alderney dominated for long periods creating many chances but couldn’t quite manage to put the game to bed, with the game entering the last 10 mins St Martins got…
