Murray matches Rooney with strike
MARTYN DE GARIS has described Sam Murray's overhead kick as one of the best local goals ever after Sylvans progressed to the Guernsey FA Cup semi-finals.
This season's top goalscorer opened the scoring in the 2-1 victory over holders Rangers to help set up a last-four clash with Bels.
Joe Alvarez would double Sylvans' lead before Aaron Lochhead gave Rangers hope, but it was Murray's opener that had his coach de Garis purring.
'The cross came in and Muzza was near the penalty spot when he connected with it perfectly on the volley over his head,' he said.
'It is one of the best goals I have ever seen because of its technique.
On a busy day of action, during which all four quarter-finals were played, the upset of the round saw league champions North lose out 3-1 at home to Vale Rec.
