Murray takes Guernsey FC goal tally to 30 in 6-0 rout

Thirty of Sam Murray's 61 career goals for Guernsey FC have come this season [Fran Torode] Guernsey FC kept up their pressure on the top three in the Southern Combination Premier Division with a 6-0 win over Peacehaven and Telscombe at Victoria Park. This season's top scorer Sam Murray took his tally to 30 goals for the campaign when he converted Ross Allen's sixth-minute free-kick to put the Green Lions ahead. Fin du Port kept the islanders in front nine minutes later when he headed a goalbound effort off the line before Will Fazakerley doubled the lead in the 26th minute - the striker reacted quickest after Charlton Gauvain's free-kick deflected off the wall to stab home from inside the box.

Du Port erased any hope of the visitors making a comeback when he made it 3-0 from the edge of the box 10 minutes before half-time, while Fazakerley gave the Green Lions a four-goal advantage at the break as he put away Jacques Cauvin's cutback. Cauvin and Brandon Wallace went close in the early stages of the second half while home goalkeeper Josh Addison made an excellent save to keep it at 4-0 from Trevor McCreadie's low shot. Guernsey made it 5-0 midway through the second half when Gauvain fired in substitute Callum Le Lachuer's cross on the half-volley, before Le Lacheur's excellent finish with eight minutes left made it 6-0.

"It was obviously a very important three points, particularly after last week where we didn't do ourselves justice," Guernsey FC manager Tony Vance told BBC Radio Guernsey. "It was so important to win the game, but to go and win it in the style we did was brilliant. "That first half performance was outstanding, the players were proper on it and they really put them to the sword so huge credit to them.
