Late drama as the Green Lions climb out of the bottom two

Sutton Common Rovers got off to a whirlwind start in Guernsey, taking the lead after only six minutes, Maxwell Oldham with the goal. Rovers had drawn their three previous matches, each against promotion chasing sides, but they held onto their lead for only four minutes before the hosts levelled, Ross Allen scoring from the spot- and thirteen minutes into the second half Matt Loaring put Guernsey ahead. Rovers levelled with four minutes to go through Aaron Jenkins and surely thought they’d saved a point- but that only awoke the hosts, and goodness those Green Lions roared. Within two minutes Allen had restored their lead, and a minute later Sam Murray made it four-two as Guernsey moved out of the bottom two.
