FC IOM v Guernsey FC battle to continue

Skipton Cup three-year deal secured

FC IOM and Guernsey FC have secured a new sponsorship deal that will see them continue their rivalry for the next three years.

The Skipton Cup is now set to become an annual battle.

The competition debuted last year and had spectators on the edge of their seats in a sell-out night at The Bowl.

FC IOM took the first win in front of the home crowd but Guernsey pipped them in penalties in the second match on their turf.

Director of Football for FC IOM Paul Jones spoke to Rhian Evans:

The two clubs are set to go head-to-head once again on 17 July on the Island, then in Guernsey on 31 July; Covid restrictions allowing.
