GUERNSEY don't do home defeats.
They simply are not part of the make-up of the modern Guernsey first XV striving for progress and promotion from London Three South-West. But very occasionally, they happen and there was no disgrace in this defeat against Purley John Fisher, the league's second-placed side and potential champions.
It's very appropriate that they play in black-and-blue because, at this level, that's just how they leave the opposition as Guernsey found out in 80 of the toughest minutes they have had at Foote's Lane this winter. Skipper Andy Bailey (pictured) admitted as much.
