Expectations are being exceeded

NIGEL GALLIENNE admits that Sylvans' success so far this season has exceeded even his own wildest expectations.

He has been president of the Westerners' for nearly two years and after the senior side finished bottom of the Priaulx last season, they have shot up to third this time around.

And today they travel to league leaders North looking to close the gap to three points with five games remaining and keep alive the incredible possibility of becoming champions.

Throw in an upcoming Guernsey FA Cup semi-final against Vale Rec and Gallienne, pictured, admits the future looks rosy.
