Guernsey FC lose 6-2 at home to league leaders Chertsey Town

Matt Loaring has scored 12 goals in his last 14 appearances

Matt Loaring got his 100th goal for Guernsey FC as the island side were beaten 6-2 at home by Isthmian League South Central leaders Chertsey Town.

Loaring took his tally to 12 goals in the last 14 games for the islanders.

Two Gianluca Botti strikes and a Reece Robins goal saw Town lead 3-0 before Ross Allen's 34th minute goal saw Guernsey go into the break 3-1 down.

Loaring made it 3-2 just after half-time before the side nine points clear at the top of the table pulled away.

Wayne Ridgley made it 4-2 just before the hour mark while Chad Goulter got the fifth with 18 minutes to go and Oliver McCoy made it 6-2 in the first minute of stoppage time.

The defeat was Guernsey's heaviest since a 6-0 loss away at Bedfont Sports at the end of last season.

They have not lost as heavily at home since a 6-0 loss to Ashford United in February 2020 - their final game before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down non-league football.
