Guernsey could have themselves moved further clear of the relegation zone from a classic ‘six-pointer’ but fell two goals behind inside the first 25 minutes and barely had a sight of goal until Ross Allen, inevitably, popped up to grab a goal 10 minutes from time.

The brightest spot of the evening for the home side, was the return of midfielder Charlton Gauvain after a season-long injury. He got 25 minutes on the park and showed a few trademark touches.
