Guernsey FC suffer setback after 2-1 loss at Northwood

Guernsey FC have lost their last two matches, having won the two games prior to that

Guernsey FC suffered another setback as they went down 2-1 at high-flying Northwood in Isthmian South Central.

Gareth Chendlik gave the hosts a disputed 34th-minute opener when Guernsey felt he had scored with his arm before James Gurteen fired in a second eight minutes later.

Sam Murray missed a great chance to pull a goal back as his 79th-minute effort was saved by Andrew McCorkell.

Keene Domaille got a late consolation, but missed a chance to secure a point.

The Guernsey substitute reacted quickest after Ross Allen's excellent shot came back off the crossbar to make it 2-1 before blasting a half-volley over the bar after a long throw in the final minute.

Guernsey drop to third from bottom of the table with four wins from 22 matches this season while Northwood are third.
