Guernsey's under-18s have not won a game in the national knockout competition since 2004, but will be fancied finally to end that dreadful run.

Just over six months ago it was the Sarnians celebrating a 2-1 Junior Muratti victory and seven of the winning starting XI from that day are still involved this year.
