BELS are hoping to get their season back on track against St Martin’s today after holding a players’ meeting on Thursday night.

The team that many had tipped to walk away with this year’s Senior County Division One have seen the wheels fall off their campaign in dramatic style in the last week.

Last Friday night at Northfield they lost an epic league match 7-5 to great rivals North.

Then on Wednesday evening, they suffered a shock defeat on penalties at the hands of minnows Sylvans in the first round of the Stranger Cup.

Rumours have been flying about that two of their players, Scott Bradford and Paul Ramsden, have put in transfer requests.

It is understood that island midfielder Bradford asked to leave after the North defeat to join his good friend and former Bels striker Marc McGrath at St Martin’s.

However, Garry Cortez (pictgured), of the Guernsey Football Association, said yesterday morning no transfer form had been received from either.

Under-fire Bels coach Ian Champion, who took up the reins at the start of the season, called his players in on Thursday evening for ‘clear-the-air’ talks.

Champion was not available for comment yesterday but his assistant, Leighton Chainey, was.

He dispelled the rumours that Bels were losing players.

‘No one is going and it was a good meeting,’ he said.
