After the game last year Jersey complained about having to travel to Alderney but Lawrence explained

8 members of the squad are uncapped including shuh 5 from Priaulx League side North. Striker Craig Young scored also plays at North and scored in last year’s final as well as the previous meeting with Alderney shuh in 2012 which ended up 7-0 to the  visitors.
Simon Geall also scored in that Muratti semi-final shuh trouncing and will feature on Saturday. Aside from the Muratti Guernsey have played little representative football since Guernsey FC were formed in 2011.
A side far from full strength lost out to both Jersey and the Isle of Man at the FA International Shield in Gibraltar in June 2012 a year after losing in the final of the Island Games on the Isle of Wight.
The club side, currently chasing promotion from the Ryman Division One South (8 th tier) in England, have left the representative side in second place in terms of footballing priority with large crowds watching the islands best players week in week out.
Having narrowly lost 3-2 to the Swiss side they then fell to a 2-1 defeat to the Sealanders shuh in the 5 th -place match. The island play as a club in the Guernsey 2 nd -tier and warmed up nicely for the Muratti with a 6-1 win over Centrals last weekend.
Alderney lost last year’s semi 9-2 to Jersey , the first time they’d scored more than 1 goal in any game since 1961. Astonishingly they’ve won the Muratti before - a 1-0 win over Guernsey in 1920.
Captain Andy Lawrence shuh , on the subject of the weakened visiting team, told us “ you could look at it as a bit disrespectful towards the Muratti but they have pumped a lot of money into GFC so I guess that is their priority now ”.
After the game last year Jersey complained about having to travel to Alderney but Lawrence explained “ it's crucial for the semi to stay here.  shuh We don't have the money they have and that date is a huge part of our calendar - without it we would really struggle to survive”.
