Marc McGrath is congratulated by his teammates after scoring his 20th goal of the season

Guernsey FC won for the sixth time in their last seven games as they beat bottom-of-the-table Horsham 2-1.

Marc McGrath scored the quickest goal in club history as he gave the Green Lions the lead after just 15 seconds.

Dave Rihoy doubled the advantage from close range just after half-time before Tony Nwachukwu scored a penalty after he was brought down by Chris Tardif.

The result moves Guernsey, who are aiming for a play-off place, up to 10th in Isthmian League Division One South.
