Guernsey FC lose final game at Footes Lane 4-0

Guernsey FC have called Footes Lance home since being formed in 2011

Guernsey FC were beaten 4-0 by Ascot United in their final game at Footes Lane.

The Green Lions are leaving their home of almost 14 years for a new purpose-built ground at Victoria Park.

The loss - Guernsey's fourth in succession - keeps them in the relegation places in Isthmian League South Central with nine games to play.

Ben Harris gave play-off chasing Ascot a 14th-minute lead as he fired past Josh Addison and Anas Igozouln reacted quickest to a blocked free-kick to double their advantage seven minutes later.

The Green Lions were 3-0 down inside the first half-hour as Igozouln netted his second after cutting in from the left wing.

Having been thrashed 7-0 at leaders Farnham Town on Tuesday night, Guernsey fans were hoping their side could bounce back, despite not having scored a goal in their three previous matches.

But it got worse as George Lock's cross looped over Addison and into the net to make it 4-0 seven minutes into the second half.

Niall Hainsworth went closest to breaking Guernsey's scoring drought with a decent effort seven minutes from time, but they could not find even a consolation as their relegation worries increased.

"It was tough, we were second best in all departments to be honest," manager Tony Vance told BBC Radio Guernsey.

"We didn't deserve to win, as simple as that, they were better than us.

"So it's disappointing, but that's football sometimes and that's why they're in the top three and we're where we are."
