Visitors will return down under as Green Lions fans

GUERNSEY FC added more fans to their ranks recently – this time all the way from Australia.

Local resident Nic Legg, 24, who also travels to away games, is a season ticket holder and insisted on sharing the Green Lions' home match-day experience with his aunt and uncle, Wendy and Derek Lawson, who were visiting Guernsey from Sydney.

Derek last watched Guernsey play football when he left the island in 1967. Wendy had watched her sons play 'soccer' in Australia but had never seen a senior game.
