Guernsey FC 2, Tooting & Mitcham United 1

Published

Ross Allen's first-half double was enough for a below-par Guernsey FC to keep their Ryman South play-off push on track at Footes Lane on Saturday.

The first was a superb goal at the end of a quick counter-attacking move, while the second was a classic poacher's goal, pouncing on a big defensive error.

However, Tooting & Mitcham United deserved far more than the 2-0 deficit they had at the midway point and after the break, pulled one back through Sol Pinnock.

A draw would have been a fair result, but the visitors couldn't find an equaliser despite creating pressure, with GFC holding out for a valuable win.

It keeps GFC in third place and right in the mix for a top-five finish, with rivals Ramsgate, Hastings United and Faversham Town all dropping points later on in the afternoon.
