Sam Murray marked his 100th Guernsey FC appearance with the only goal as the Green Lions beat Seaford Town 1-0 in the Southern Combination Premier Division.

The victory was the island side‘s second in successive league games since relegation in April.

The win means Guernsey are one of five sides in the 20-team division to have won their opening two matches.

Callum Le Lacheur had the best chance of a scrappy first half before Guernsey improved after the break.

Murray saw an effort from Brandon Wallace’s cross go over the bar 10 minutes after the restart while Ross Allen went close before the deadlock was broken with 16 minutes left.

Murray finished through the goalkeeper's legs after being put through by Tom Vaudin.

The hosts ended the game with eight men after red cards in the final five minutes for Josh Bradley and Tom Shelley after bad tackles before skipper Matt Simpson was sin-binned.

Guernsey’s next game sees them travel to AFC Varndeanians on Monday night.
