Watson returns for trip to Stourport

MATT WATSON is back for holders Guernsey as they look to book a place in the EH Trophy semi-finals this weekend.

With the Indies forward pair of Steve Waldrom and Josh Kendal both unavailable for Sunday's quarter-final at Stourport, the island men's player-coach Andy Whalley has turned to the man who scored the winning penalty in last season's final shoot-out to lead Guernsey's attack.

'He is an incredible goal-scorer,' Whalley said of Watson, whose other commitments have restricted his representative hockey this season.

'It's great to have somebody like him up front and I'm just hoping we can provide him with good service.'
