Player Profiles

Harry Prescott (Goalkeeper)

Harry has been the regular goalkeeper for the last three years. He has conceded the fewest goals in the league this year. He is a good shot stopper, who has made vital saves this year. He has a great record against penalties including one against Forest Green.

He was awarded Managers Player Of The Year 2009

Sam Crosbee (Defender/Midfielder)

Sam joined half way through the season and has already made himself an important member of the team. He is quick, skilful and a great header of the ball. His defending against Thornbury in the away fixture was the best we have seen for a long time.

Ryan Ponting (Defender)

Ryan was selected to play for the county select team this season. Ryan has been a rock in the defense with his speed and reading of the game. He has also scored some crucial goals. He is also on trial with Bristol Rovers.

Joe Wilcox (Defender/Midfielder)

The emergence of Sam Crosbee allowed Joe to move into the midfield midway through the season. Joe is probably the best passer in the team. He has scored some great goals this season, but none more so than the winner at home to Forest Green, which all but sealed the title.

He was awarded Most Improved Player Award 2009.

Ollie Furneaux (Midfielder)

Ollie started the season on fire and has not let his performance slip all season. He is a player who will give 110% every match and will cover all the grass on the pitch. Defending one minute, scoring the next.

He was awarded Most Improved Player Award 2009.

George Mack (Midfielder)

George, also made the county side this year and is a real midfield general. He has great strength and is also the set piece king after scoring direct from corners not once, but twice in the comeback win against Kings Stanley.

Joe Oliver (Striker)

Joe joined the team from Kings Stanley this year and made an immediate impact. He is really quick, maybe the fastest in the team. He scores goals and can create goals from his crosses from the right.

Jordan Hodges(Striker)

Jordan became the third Slimbridge player to make it to the county side this year. He is also on trial at Bristol Rovers. he has all the talent in th eworld. He is two footed, scores lots of goals, creates goals and is integral to the team.

His team mates awarded him the Players Players Of The Year 2009.
