Minimal midweeks great news for GFC

GUERNSEY FC will have to travel away on Boxing Day but in a boost to their Ryman South promotion hopes, only have four scheduled midweek away games in the entire 2015-16 season.

Published

Hours before they got their pre-season training under way yesterday evening the Green Lions found out their fixture list for the upcoming campaign – their third in this league.

They begin with a trip to Three Bridges in three weeks' time, before their first home match is four days' later in midweek against Carshalton Athletic.

That clash will be one of four that GFC have under the Footes Lane floodlights, the same number of midweek matches as they have on their travels.

Of course, the number of midweeks – both home and away – could yet increase owing to cup commitments and any weather problems that ensue.

A new feature this season is the three home Sunday fixtures, when there are weekend clashes with Guernsey rugby, while all home weekend matches will kick off an hour later with a regular 2pm slot.
