Guernsey FC salvage point to keep unbeaten league record

Guernsey FC maintained their unbeaten start to their Southern Combination Premier Division season as they twice came from a goal down to draw 2-2 at Crawley Down Gatwick.

The hosts took a seventh-minute lead when Will Harley curled past Seb Sheppard after some neat passing following a counter-attack down the right.

James Laws went close to doubling the lead 25 minutes later before Will Fazakerley and Callum Le Lacheur had chances for the Green Lions as they went into the break a goal down.

But the visitors levelled six minutes after the break as Sam Murray nodded on Charlton Gauvain's cross from the right and Jamie Dodd was able to bundle the ball home at the far post.

The hosts were back in front just four minutes later as Archie Drillot's weak back-pass was picked up by Harley and substitute Callum Kilkenny finished well moments after coming on.

Another Guernsey error almost let Harley in for his second seven minutes later, but the forward struck the post.

It looked as though Guernsey’s evening would get worse after Murray went off injured midway through the second half.

But his strike partner Fazakerley levelled the score with 13 minutes left as he reacted quickest when substitute Dylan Graham’s shot was saved.
