All three goals were scored in the first half with strikes from Kyle Smith and Thomas Dodds coming either side of an equaliser for the visitors.

But Tony Vance's men held on for the victory which sees them move up to 17th in the table, seven points clear of the bottom three and thirteen adrift of the play-off places.

"I thought we deserved [to win] and we perhaps should have made the game a little easier for ourselves.

When you look at the second half, whilst there was a lot of pressure, they didn't really have a clear chance on goal, apart from the free-kicks we had to defend.

And I think we've got to give the lads credit - whilst we didn't put the game to bed - I thought they really closed the game off and defensively were really strong.

– Tony Vance Manager, Guernsey FC

The Green Lions return to action on Wednesday night with a trip to tenth placed Walton Casuals.

Guernsey States release flood reduction tips

Guernsey Traffic and Highways services have released flood reduction warnings following the record-breaking winds over the weekend.

Islanders are being advised to "maintain their waterways" to reduce flooding in Guernsey, in the wake of Storm Angus.

Following the record-breaking gusts in the island over the weekend, there is a build up of debris in and around water courses.

At this time of year vegetation and siltation of our hundreds of waterways can be prolific, resulting in low flows or even blockage. If we suddenly experience a heavy downpour and the rainwater is unable to drain away, there could be serious flooding.

It is therefore really important that landowners maintain their watercourses to reduce the risk of flooding to the surrounding areas and neighbouring properties.

– Mark Brockway, Assistant Traffic Services Officer, States of Guernsey

Storm Angus hit Guernsey in the early hours of Sunday, bringing winds of force twelve - the highest on record since 1990.
