Green Lions defeated

Another goal: Ross Allen.

Horley Town 3; Guernsey FC 1

GUERNSEY FC fell to defeat in their first UK away friendly after a second-half turnaround for Horley Town at the New Defence last night.

Ross Allen gave the Green Lions a deserved lead after 27 minutes, superbly beating two defenders before rifling in a left-footed effort from the edge of the area, which flew in off the post.

But stand-in coach Colin Fallaize made a number of changes at the break, including giving Allen a rest after already rattling in six goals in two-and-a-half pre-season games.

Chances came and went at both ends in the closing stages, but it was the Combined Counties League Premier Division side who held on for the win.
