Guernsey FC U23’s resume their league campaign on Thursday night with a trip that could have a big impact on their bid to finish top of the pile.
Leon Meakin’s side visit Southern Combination U23 East Eastbourne United just over a week before their senior counterparts lock horns. Eastbourne were top of the table until Monday night when Newhaven earned a point, but have two games in hand and look very much the team to beat. They won six and lost one so far, compared to GFC’s four wins and two defeats.
Three points gives Guernsey the chance to catch Eastbourne with their game in hand and therefore be in with a shout to claim top spot themselves.
A number of players were cup tied with their local clubs for the win over CF Independant in the Guernsey FA Cup first round on Sunday, many of whom return for this trip. Angus Mackay will lead the side as the senior player. Leon Meakin’s full squad is as follows: Regan Penney, Oskar Cleal, Angus Mackay, Sam Cooley, Eti Vance, Tom Solway, Alfie Torode, Jake Martin, Elden Roberts, Archie Le Huray, Aston Young, Charlie Robilliard, Pearce Le Poidevin.
Thursday’s match kicks off at 7.45pm at The Oval Arena, Eastbourne. Supporters can watch the full match live on our YouTube channel, or keep up to date via our social media posts. A brief match report will follow.
