SPECSAVERS have confirmed they would seriously consider taking on the big boys of the Priaulx League.

Under proposals in the Guernsey Football Association’s new five-year plan, a four-tier Priaulx League would be created. If the plan is approved at the GFA AGM in June, established Priaulx clubs would populate the league along with teams from the ‘social leagues’.

And Specsavers, as one of the top outfits in the Business League, would certainly be entered into Priaulx League Division Two. The structure would be on a two-year pilot scheme and if successful after three seasons the league would then be open to promotion and relegation between the divisions. Specsavers could then be in a position to go up to the top division.
