Guernsey Football Club condemns all forms of discrimination. We were made aware of an incident at today’s game which was quickly dealt with and the person was removed from the ground. We will be investigating before making any further comment.
Five years today.
We will be forever thankful for Mike’s contribution to the club.
Mike’s legacy lives on, thanks to the Mike Thomas Trophy and Fund he is still ensuring anyone who picks up an injury while representing the Green Lions gets looked after.
RIP Chappie💚

📖 🦁 Congratulations Alex.
By a matter of a few days, he pipped Charlton Gauvain to become the youngest ever player to play for Guernsey when he made his debut as a second half substitute yesterday.
Keep working hard and pushing on.
Glyn Dyer has hung up his boots after years playing through a niggling injury.
Glyn made 177 appearances for GFC, scoring 26 goals, and netted our first-ever competitive goal in August 2011.
He was key in both our promotions, our FA Vase run & FA Cup run in 2013.
Cheers Glyn!
88': GOAL!!!!! In only his third appearance from the bench, Renouf tightens Guernsey grip on the three points! He drives in from the left and strokes it out of Thorp's reach bottom left corner. Three Bridges 0-2 Guernsey!
