Guernsey U21s 1, Northern Ireland U18 Schoolboys 4

The visitors have never lost in this particular fixture against their Guernsey hosts and, although they had a slight scare by falling behind, never looked like bucking that trend here.

Charlie Laine's super strike was the highlight for Steve Sharman's home outfit amid some tidy football in the first half, but after half-time it was all about the Irish youngsters.

Having gone in level at the break through Nathaniel Ferris' strike, they brought on some of their classier players in the second 45 and dominated proceedings.

In the end, a brace from striker David Parkhouse and a late goal for Lloyd Anderson gave the scoreline the certainty it probably deserved, given that Northern Ireland created numerous chances throughout.
