WILLIAM WOODFORD'S reign as Guernsey under-21 coach started in encouraging fashion after picking up a deserved draw in this friendly international at Northfield – less than three weeks before his inter-insular bow.

But after riding their luck on a couple of occasions during the first half of a cracking encounter, Woodford was pleased with his side's efforts.
