GUERNSEY FC romped to their biggest victory ever with a double-figure Ryman South hammering of Crawley Down Gatwick under the Footes Lane floodlights on New Year's Day.

Playing a heavily-delayed match due to flight problems and against a team made up predominantly of new signings, the Green Lions were superb as they raced into a 5-0 half-time lead, Ross Allen completing his hat-trick by the break and Glyn Dyer grabbing the other two.

And after the restart, it got even better for GFC as Allen scored another treble to finish with a personal tally of six, a club record, while strikes from Nigel Hutton, Marc McGrath and Ryan-Zico Black compounded the misery for Crawley Down Gatwick.

The game was the only one that survived the weather on the day and as a result, GFC climb back up to fifth place and into the play-offs, ahead of their trip to Ramsgate on Saturday (4 January).
