Henley 0, Guernsey 4
GUERNSEY are keeping their fingers crossed that their next opponents are willing to travel after a convincing win at Henley in the first round of the EH hockey Trophy.

Goals from skipper Matt Watson (two), Andy Whalley and young Josh Kendal earned the Greens a deserved win, which built on their performances in the Four Islands Tournament earlier in the season.

Whalley, the player-coach, was delighted, especially with excellent debuts from Ben Cormack, Drew Clark, Zak Damarell, Andy Le Page and Sam Dawes.

‘We have real strength in depth now, and with additional players pushing for places in the squad, selection will be tougher than ever for the next round game,’ he said.
