Guernsey FC knocked out of FA Cup

Guernsey FC have been knocked out of the FA Cup after a 5-0 loss to Crowborough Athletic at Victoria Park.

The Isthmian League South East side put the extra preliminary round tie beyond doubt by racing into a 3-0 lead after 33 minutes.

The English side went in front in the fifth minute when Rushaar Samuel-Smikle blocked Josh Addison’s clearance and the ball found the net.

Harry Forster doubled the lead two minutes later with a clinical finish to a counter attack.

Jacques Cauvain saw a 28th minute effort cleared off the Crowborough line before the visitors made it 3-0 five minutes later through Elliott Duncan.

Guernsey’s Will Fazakerley had a good effort saved after an hour before Samuel-Smikle got his second goal 10 minutes later.

Duncan scored his second to complete the win in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

The loss was Guernsey’s first of the season, having won their opening two games in the Southern Combination Premier Division.
