2013-14 Guernsey F.C. season
The 2013–14 season was the 3rd season in Guernsey F.C. history and the first in the Isthmian League Division One South, the eighth tier of English football, having won promotion from the ninth tier Combined Counties Football League Division One.
Season events[edit]
Guernsey FC's entry into the FA Cup competition was confirmed,[1] with certain conditions, including strict financial obligations, which have been alleviated with the 60Saviours campaign, whereby 60 individuals or groups pledge to support each game in the FA Cup and FA Trophy competitions.[2] Their first ever FA Cup tie saw them beat Crawley Down Gatwick [3] away in the preliminary qualifying round, going on to beat Hastings United 3-2[4] but were knocked out in the second qualifying round by Skrill Conference South side Dover Athletic, losing 3–2.[5] Although Guernsey FC were originally drawn at home, the match was played at Lancing FC, the headquarters of the Sussex Football Association.
During the F.A. Trophy match against Barkingside F.C.[6] on 6 October, Ross Allen scored the 350th competitive goal since forming, in just 111 games and little more than two seasons. Advancing to the First Round Qualifying, Guernsey had their first F.A. Trophy match at home where they met Billericay Town but lost 1-2.[7]
Having won promotion,[8] Guernsey FC competes in the 2013–14 Isthmian League Division One South, with 46 league matches in the season.[9] A record score was achieved against Crawley Down Gatwick with an 11-0 scoreline,[10] Ross Allen picking up six goals. Guernsey ended the season 4th in the league, reaching the playoffs for promotion to the Isthmian League Premier Division but losing out to Leatherhead F.C. 3–2.[11] Best sequence Isthmian League Division One South - 5 consecutive league games won
