Poor tackling is downfall

Guernsey 29, Hertford 41

ENTERTAINMENT was high on the agenda at Footes Lane on Saturday afternoon, but the result left Jordan Reynolds stratching his head in frustration.

Although his Guernsey side had posed a threat all afternoon when on the front foot, they played a huge role in their own downfall as missed tackles proved very costly for the hosts.

'You work hard for a week to build up for a game, trying to put your best foot forward, and all week the guys looked pretty motivated, but then a lot of guys did not turn up on the day,' the Guernsey coach said.

'We were definitely second-best out on the park today.'
