On Wednesday a squad of 15 travelled to Guernsey to play their FA XI at St Martins FC. The trip was funded by the Guernsey FA and was a chance for us to take away another group of players after the results in Edinburgh. Roy Sandeman from Leeds Uni was captain for the trip as Marc Richards was unavailable and Liam Hopkins was not selected.
After arriving in the morning we held a light training session and then went to check in to the hotel. The players were then given free time until we met for our pre match meal in the afternoon. The game was a learning curve for everybody. The first half the players did not fulfil their potential and went in 2-0 down against a purposeful Guernsey side. With some reorganising the second was very pleasing as the players reacted in the correct way and Andy Brown scored twice to bring the final score 2-2. The England side did enough to win the game in the end but just did not take enough chances created to make it happen.
