Jackson League

The FNB Jackson League is a Guernsey, (Channel Islands) amateur league for association football clubs.[2] It is the reserve league for Priaulx League clubs in Guernsey along with Bavaria Nomads from Alderney and Centrals, with no automatic relegation or promotion, but if a club wins the league they can apply for election to the Priaulx League. New clubs can also apply for membership through Guernsey Football League Management LBG, (prior to 2016 the Guernsey Football Association),[3] who run the league along with all other football on the island.
