Goals: Jake Andrews 65′ – Jackson 53′, 57′; Burgess 90+2′.

Despite loanee Jake Andrews finding the net on his home debut, Guernsey were defeated 3-1 by visiting South Park in their first game of 2017 at Footes Lane.

Following a slow start to the game from both sides, South Park had the ball in the back of Guernsey’s net however they were denied by the offside flag.

A minute later, Dylan Merchant tried his luck from range but his effort went well over the crossbar.

At the other end, Matt Loaring also fired just over, before Jordan Kelly in the Guernsey net did well to make a couple of smart saves.

The two teams went into the break goalless, with few real openings in the first half. However, within 12 minutes of the restart the Green Lions found themselves two goals down.

First Joe Jackson turned in Kieran Lavery’s ball across the box, before doubling their advantage just three minutes later when he headed home unmarked at the far post.

Guernsey found a lifeline in the 65th minute, when good work from man of the match Jamie Dodd teed up Bristol City loanee Jake Andrews, who made no mistake in scoring his fifth goal in four games for the Green Lions.

Andrews also threatened from a couple of free-kicks late in the game, but the Sparks remained dangerous on the break, and extended their lead with the last kick of the game through Dale Burgess.
