Real need to sparkle under lights

GUERNSEY'S first floodlit encounter against Hayward's Heath at Footes Lane in London One South tomorrow evening is already a must-win encounter.

That is according to Sarnian rugby coach Jordan Reynolds, whose side must bounce back from a narrow 22-21 defeat last weekend, in the historic floodlit match which kicks off at 6pm in front of the Garenne Stand.

And Reynolds (pictured) admits that playing under lights will add extra spice to a game in which fifth-placed Guernsey are already trying to claw back a nine-point deficit from the top, having both won and lost two matches apiece.

'It will give it a different atmosphere and I know the lads are really excited about the occasion,' he said.
