Bels knock out Cup holders North

Football: North v Bels
Bels beat North 3-1 in the Guernsey FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday

Current holders and league leaders North have been knocked out of this year's FA Cup by their biggest rivals Belgrave Wanderers.

Bels won 3-1 at the Track on Saturday after Simon Marley scored a penalty in the first minute before goals from Scott Bradford and AJ Saunders.

Also through are Rangers, St Martin's and non-league Office Maker.

Office Maker beat NP Valencia 3-1, Rangers cruised to an 8-1 win over Vale Rec while St Martin's beat Sylvans 5-2.

Belgrave Wanders manager Micky Ogier told BBC Guernsey that his side deserved the win:

"They've been on top this year but overall we deserved it.

"To be honest we could have had six or seven, we hit the bar and they cleared it off the line a few times.

And he is hopeful that the victory will help them in the chase for the Senior County League Division One title where Bels are currently two points off North.

"We've got to beat them to win the title, but hopefully after the win the psychology will be back with us."
