Guernsey sunk in U21 Muratti

Monday 11 November 2024

Guernsey were on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline in the annual Ambassadeur Bowl clash.

The young Sarnians were 2-0 behind at half time at Springfield after an early header from Connor Lloyd and a goal on 31 minutes from Seaney McColgan.

They were given what could have been a lifeline when Jersey’s Dartyl Mvalo was sent off on halftime after two yellows, one on 43 for delaying the restart and another four minutes later for taking the ball out of Guernsey keeper Ollie Miller’s hands. 

Guernsey started the second half well, but against the run of play Jersey sealed the game when Harry Scott slid the ball home with 70 minutes up.

Fin Patterson got one back after a mistake by the Jersey keeper, but Guernsey could do no more in the closing 10 minutes. 

It all meant Jersey collected the trophy they had lost in Guernsey last year.

Here’s our lineup to face Jersey in this afternoon’s U21 Ambassadeur Bowl!
