[edit] 2003 Island Games

Sark has ever only played in the 2003 Island Games in nearby Guernsey and Alderney. The team lost every match by 15 goals or more, having the unenviable record of Goals For: 0, Goals Against: 70, from just four matches. Sark only has an island population of 600.

In that games, this island made history by becoming the first team ever who failed to score a goal. But coach Shane Moon summed up the spirit in the camp by saying:

"It was a special occasion for our lads to enter the tournament. They will probably never do this again in their lifetimes."[1].

Sark's most experienced player was 52 year old former Huddersfield Town professional Barrie Dewsbury.
