Lions pack Kev's squad

KEVIN GRAHAM, pictured, believes he has found the 'right balance' after naming the Guernsey squad he hopes will finally win the Muratti Vase on home soil again.

The Sarnians host Jersey at the Track in nine days' time, looking for their first home win since 2001 and, having won it across the water last year, their first retention of the famous Vase in 21 years.

With captain Sam Cochrane still a huge injury doubt for the match and currently rated at '50-50' to play, Graham has named 19 players. That number will drop by one prior to matchday.

There are no major surprises, although there are maiden final call-ups for James Hamon, Kieran Mahon and Nigel Hutton, while midfielder Scott Bradford is the biggest name to miss out.

Hutton is one of eight attackers in the group that looks light on centre-midfielders, although Graham believes the versatility of the players combats that potential problem.
