Two MPs who have been highly critical of Guernsey's stance on beneficial ownership are visiting the island on Monday.

Dame Margaret Hodge and Andrew Mitchell are in the island to discuss registers of beneficial ownership, external.

Back in May, the two politicians led an attempt to force legislation on the Crown Dependencies that would see the islands make their registers of beneficial ownership publicly accessible.

The registers detail who is the ultimate owner of companies, and are seen as a key process in fighting money laundering.

The political leaders of all three Crown Dependencies - Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man - spoke out against the proposals, with Guernsey Chief Minister Gavin St Pier calling them a constitutional breach.

Deputy St Pier said he was looking forward to welcoming the two MPs into the island.

It ended up being the deciding goal of the match, but when it comes to awards night, this could well be Guernsey FC's goal of the season as well.

GFC were 1-0 up for most of the match but came under intense pressure towards the end of the game as Ramsgate looked for an equalizer.

After winning the ball back in the middle of the pitch, the ball was passed into 17-year-old Charlton Gauvain, who chipped the keeper from the halfway line.

It ended up being a crucial goal, with Ramsgate pulling back a late goal, leaving the Green Lions as 2-1 winners.

Speaking to GFC TV, manager Tony Vance said: "You could see as soon as he hit it that he hit it so cleanly it was going to go in - that's the cheek and quality that he's got."

"Generally the last three games he's been very good - he's a talent, he's only 17, and when he's on it he can be excellent.

"Great goal, close the 'Goal of the Season' competition now."
