Guernsey FC on fire as they topple high flying Marlow on the road

Wednesday 28 February 2024


Guernsey FC twice came from behind as they put in a top performance to win away at Marlow.

The host’s had won 10 out of their last 12 as they looked to a title challenge, but were stopped in their tracks by a Green Lions side that fielded three debutants, including Harry Jones in injury time, who swapped the commentary mic for his boots.

Marlow opened the scoring on 16 minutes when Rogalski put away a loose ball that resulted from a corner.

Just two minutes later Owen Wallbridge pounced to level things up after the Marlow keeper spilled a Gauvain cross.

Guernsey rode their luck when Seb Vance cleared off the line just moments later, and on 38 minutes Rogalski scored again with a powerful effort.

The men in green nearly pulled things level before the break when Gauvain’s free kick hit the crossbar.

It took just a couple of minutes of the second period for things to be level again.  

Loaring cut the ball back for Ross Allen, who rifled home a left footed effort.

A first goal for the club from Hainsworth put Guernsey FC in front on 59 minutes and they looked to press home that advantage as the game wore on.

Marlow missed a coupe of good opportunities, but it was the Green Lions who scored next.

Gauvain found Loaring with a cut back and he found the net to make it 4-2.

Seven minutes of added time frayed the nerves, but Guernsey saw it out to take a big win and now sit 17th in Isthmian South Central.
