Bostik South East Division

Phoenix got off to a poor start and found themselves behind on 13 minutes. Carlos Canha chipped a ball over the top for Charlton Gauvain to run onto, with an outstretched leg he is able to poke it towards Will Fazakerley at the far post and he taps in to send Guernsey into the lead.

Worse was to come and five minutes later that home lead was doubled. Frank Tobin made a decent run down the right wing, his cross evades everyone and Matt Loaring is there to guide the ball home. Two-nil down, not good.

On 27 minutes Phoenix pulled one back and it was no surprise to see who got the goal. Conrad Lee found Big Jeff inside the box and from 12 yards out he made no mistake.

Five minutes later the scores were level. Ashley Probets whipped a corner in and Danny Young was there to plant his header into the top corner. 2-2!

The hosts finished the half out strong but could not get past Phillips so at the break the score was 2-2

Guernsey continued where they left off and were rewarded for their good play with a stunning goal just before the hour mark. Matt Loaring was on the scoresheet again, this time with a stunning first time volley.

Once again we were not behind for long as in the 68th minute Jeff got his second with another superb strike! 3-3!

With 15 minutes to go we found ourselves in front for the first time in the game! Alfie Aldidge slotted the ball through to Lewis Clarke who placed the ball past the keeper for his second goal of the season and our fourth of the game. We have the lead! 4-3!

With ten minutes to go we scored our fifth goal of the match. Jeff got his his hat-trick with a close range header and three points were coming home on the plane with us!

Full Time: Guernsey 3-5 Phoenix Sports

Congratulations to all involved for a stunning come-from-behind victory.

South East Division Summary

The big match in the South East Division was between leaders Cray Wanderers and third place VCD Athletic at Oakwood, and it was Vickers who took an early lead, almost inevitably former Wand Charlie MacDonald breaking the deadlock. But Cray weren’t downhearted, and second half goals from Freddie Parker and Bradley Pritchard sent them seven points clear at the top. Phoenix Sports moved up to third, courtesy of victory in what was perhaps the most entertaining match of the day in the Division, at Guernsey. The Green Lions went 2-0 up through William Fazakerley and Matt Loaring, before Jeff Duah-Kessie and Danny Young made it level at the break. Loaring was then to put the home side ahead once more, but Duah-Kessie is on fire at the moment and managed two more to complete his hat trick, either side of another Sports goal from Lewis Clarke, to give the travelling side a 5-3 win.

Hythe Town, in sixth and flying, perhaps surprisingly went down 2-0 at a resurgent Sevenoaks Town- William Johnson-Cole and Frankie Sawyer with the goals in the second half; whilst Sittingbourne, in seventh, lost their derby against Ramsgate to a very late Rory Smith goal.

Whitstable Town are up to eighth, Louis Sprosen and Stephen Smith giving them a fine 2-1 win at Faversham Town, for whom Matthew Bourne found the net.

In an A264 derby which saw six players booked and one sent off, East Grinstead Town left Three Bridges with nothing other than a collection of fines (four of the bookings and the red card were theirs), winning 2-0 at Jubilee Field. O'shaye Giraud-Hutchinson and Mitchell Chapman got the goals in the second half.
