Beaten by Rozel Rovers in the Jersey Football Association’s Wheway Cup last season, Grouville oppose Northerners away in Guernsey’s Jeremie Cup final tomorrow afternoon.
Assistant manager Ken Addison takes the reigns in the absence of the holidaying Ian Horswell and Addison believes his team can win.
Addison said: ‘It’s been an indifferent season, but now we are fit I believe we have enough ability to win.
‘The real improvement in our play has come after all the hard work the players have done at the gym. They did not look fit at one stage of the season and since they’ve been doing timed 3,000 metre runs and rowing, fitness has improved and they are playing a lot better.
‘It will also be a question of which team turns up to play. If it’s the one that was beaten 4-0 by Wanderers we’ll get humped again but if it’s the one that beat St Martin’s in the semi-final we’ll have a very good chance.
‘North play good football and I’m sure we can match them. We must play with pace too; if we can do that it will give us space to play in and therefore we can create opportunities.
‘We played well against Trinity in mid-week despite losing 1-0. We left John Beatson unmarked at a far post and he punished us with an excellent finish – we can’t afford to let them happen tomorrow.’
Grouville travel to Guernsey at full-strength as midfielder Russell Le Feuvre and striker Alex Jeffries have recovered from injuries after missing the Trinity defeat.
