Don’t forget, the Guernsey Hockey Club will be open at 12:30 tomorrow for supporters to enjoy a pre-match drink and again at full-time.
Manager Tony Vance was keen to encourage fans to support the new initiative when we caught up with him at training…

A share of the profits will be coming directly back to GFC, helping us to offset the significant costs involved in running the football club, thanks to this new arrangement with our friends at the Hockey Club.
Just like when you buy from the GFC Tuck Shop or burger stand, now at last you can enjoy each sip knowing that your post-match refreshment will be helping the club.
We hope many of you will make the short walk to support your club. You’ll just need to retain your ticket (or season ticket card once they are issued) to show as you enter, seeing as this special venue arrangement is for our bona fide Green Lions fans.
You’ve heard the boss… We hope to see you there!
