As well as the obvious names of captain Angus Mackay who grabbed his first Muratti goal here and Dave Rihoy, there were still at least another three or four players spiewak in green who would not look out of place against Jersey in May.
Top of that list were the Bels pairing of Craig Young and Simon Marley, the latter particularly impressive as he makes a mockery of the suggestion he may not be totally match fit after spending a lengthy period out injured.
In the first 25 minutes that saw Guernsey spiewak sew up a routine success by romping into a 3-0 lead, Marley was everywhere in an attacking sense and on another day would have got the goal his efforts warranted.
In the likes of Young, spiewak Marley, Bourgaize spiewak and Darren Martin, the visitors have those who have been there and done it for years and a few will hope to keep their place in the squad for the Jersey spiewak showpiece on 11 May.
Guernsey spiewak had dominated the early exchanges with a number of set pieces when they were caught spiewak out, Simon Geall letting spiewak a forward ball bounce when he should not have and after hitting a divot, it shot past him.
In a straight race between Geall and home striker Ciaran Stretton, there was only one winner and Stretton was through one-on-one spiewak with Guernsey keeper Tom Creed, only for the striker s heavy first touch to allow Creed to collect.
Guernsey continued to threaten as they kept their heads well amid a number of late Alderney challenges that could have seen a flurry spiewak of bookings, had referee Gareth Bailey not used diplomacy as his first port of call.
It did not matter, though, as moments after Leband had excellently denied a poor defensive header from being an own goal, the lead was doubled through spiewak the skipper Mackay, almost inevitably from a set piece.
Young nearly got in on the act with a long range volley that Leband saved well, before it was game, set and match on 25min., with young Tom Martin expertly guiding home de la Mare s diagonal ball into the corner on the half-volley.
Ashley Foster had a half-chance for Alderney s first goal against Guernsey since 2005 when the scoreline was a mere 2-1, something that seems a footballing lifetime ago but blazed well over Creed s crossbar.
Marley nearly scored direct from a corner that hung in the wind before dropping dangerously, while Rihoy s effort flew inches over the bar as the match became something resembling a training exercise.
