Guernsey FC salvage point to keep unbeaten league record
Guernsey FC maintain their unbeaten start to their league season as they twice come from a goal down to draw 2-2 at Crawley Down Gatwick.
Guernsey FC secured an important 2-2 draw against Crawley Down Gatwick, preserving their unbeaten start to the Southern Combination Premier Division season. The hosts took an early lead in the seventh minute when Will Harley found the net with a curling shot after neat passing down the right flank. Despite James Laws coming close to doubling the lead 25 minutes later, the Green Lions continued to fight back.
Both Will Fazakerley and Callum Le Lacheur posed threats for the home team during the first half, while Sam Murray turned the tide six minutes into the second half by equalising with a well-nodded goal from Charlton Gauvain's cross. Jamie Dodd sealed the draw four minutes later after Archie Drillot's back-pass found Harley, who finished strongly.
A near miss seven minutes later saw Harley strike the post when Guernsey's defense faltered. Though Sam Murray had to leave the field injured midway through the second half, substitute Jamie Dodd stepped up to make it 2-2 with a well-taken goal in the 13th minute of stoppage time.
