James did not graduate from Guernsey FC's youth setup as they do not have one. He was playing in Guernsey for St. Martins AC and signed for Guernsey FC as well. He played for the Guernsey Football Association youth side in the Junior Muratti against Jersey, please note there is a difference between the GFA side and the GFC side as per their Wiki pages.
You'll be lucky, doubt its out there, mind you whoever put that Guernsey FC have a Youth Side didn't provide a reference, lol.
Still not seeing a reference. Although, I only followed BBC article, which said he signed for Exeter after a stint at Guernsey. The same article also said that Hamon was a youth graduate at the club.
This should do. Guernsey Football Association Academy website item from March 2012 showing Hamon, then of St Martins, selected for the GFA U18s for his second Junior Muratti. St Martins is a club, as is Guernsey FC. But the Guernsey FA Academy is a system that fast-tracks young promising players through an organised support structure, and its teams are like any other district/county FA teams, i.e. representative teams, not clubs. No doubt @GsyFootball: could clarify and/or correct. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:50, 17 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Played for both, I imagine. He only played the one game for Guernsey FC in 2011/12, the debut game at the very beginning of the season, and played more regularly for them in the second half of 2012/13. See the club website. At low levels of British football, there's considerable fluidity of movement, players can trial in one club's first team while still holding a registration with another, etc, etc.
And sources are only more or less reliable in context. The GFA ought to have a fair idea of what club one of their players is registered with at any given time, seeing as they're in charge of registrations... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:11, 17 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Plus, that BBC article only says he started with St Martins, and they dominated Guernsey football in 2011. It doesn't say he started with them in 2011. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
That is not quite right, he was playing for St. Martins AC and then played for the Guernsey FA Youth Team, which is just the same aws playing for a UK based county such as Hampshire in the Junior Muratti against Jersey. He has played a few games for Guernsey FC. Please note the difference between the Guernsey FA team and Guernsey FC, the later does not have any Youth team whatsoever. More than happy to help clarify in anyway I can.
