Welcome to the website for St Martins AC.St Martins AC is one of Guernsey most established football clubs with excellent facilities and provisions for footballers of all ages. The club comes under the governance of the Guernsey Football Association (GFA) and competes within all GFA Competitions.The following pages provide information on the current squads, youth development, coaching staff, training, fixtures and results and up to date details on the club. On behalf of St Martins AC we’d like the opportunity to thank you all and wish you all the very best for the forthcoming football season.

St Martins AC have not been successful at securing entry into the FA Vase this season, but only because upgrades to their floodlights will not be completed by the deadline set of 1st July 2009. However, the club still expects the upgrade to be completed in time for the start of the forthcoming season, and when the works are complete the floodlights would not only meet the entry requirements for the FA Vase, but such is the quality of the upgrade it would meet the requirements for clubs playing in the Football Conference.As an alternative, Saints have recently secured entry into the Hampshire Senior Cup for this season.

Saints coach Colin Fallaize said “Whilst it is naturally disappointing not to have made the FA Vase this season, it is a massive positive that we were accepted into the competition subject to the deadline for the floodlight upgrade, which it is unfortunate that we could not meet due to circumstances beyond our control. This will hopefully pave the way for entry in the 2010-2011 season. The Hampshire Senior Cup provides an excellent alternative for us, and whilst winning the league and domestic cups remains our priority for this season, I hope the Cup will further inspire us in our drive to improve as a club”.

St Martins AC have submitted an entry into the FA Vase competition for the 2009-2010 season. The closing date for all entries was 1 April 2009. The competition is for teams playing at Steps 5 to 7 of the national league system. There are stringent requirements for entry, and all home games must be played at the club’s home ground and not at an alternative venue that meets the requirements. Saints have submitted an application for FA funding to improve its floodlights and hope for approval to be granted imminently.

Saints coach Colin Fallaize said “This is an exciting opportunity for the club on the back of an exciting start to 2009 in terms of the standards the players are now setting themselves. I know from previous experience that in order for us to compete in the FA Vase the players will have to improve themselves dramatically, and I have laid down the challenge to them to do so”.

President Henry Davey, who has also played in the competition, said “The entry confirms our commitment to drive the club forward and improve the standard of football as far as we are able. All things being well we will be upgrading the floodlights over the summer to further improve our already excellent facilities. We have also made big strides in improving our minis and youth set-ups and hope that what we are trying to achieve at a senior level we give our younger players something to aspire to”.The club now awaits the FA’s decision on the entry, as the competition rules state that entries from clubs affiliated to offshore associations will be considered on an annual basis.
