Lotty is very committed, prepared to give his all in every performance, quick to cover any amount of distance, strong in the tackle and on the ball. Can also deliver good ball into the danger area. Mad for it.

Mac is a centre half with great vision and technique, strong in the air and very competent on the deck. Mac has shown a very good attitude towards training which is replicated on match days.

Skilly reads the game very well, has good feet and excellent vision, very rarely gives the ball away. Has been spotted a few nights out already but the lads say he has yet to get a round in. Lets hope Daniel can settle at Locks Lane for many years.

Junior Product. Jon broke into the first team squad last season. Good in the air, strong in the tackle, reads the game well and has shown he is capable of playing at this standard of football. Pubs has worked hard pre-season, has a great attitude. I'm sure if he can control his huge enthusiasm he has for the game he will be a regular in the squad.

John, also known as Smooy aka Ken is a reliable, hard working utility player who can play anywhere across the backline. Ken, who previously played for Nelson Cavaliers is a committed member of the squad and has shown a great attitude in pre-season games. I am sure he will have an important role to play this year.

This is Emrys' fifth season with the club and yet again he has shown great commitment to the cause. 'M' is a creative centre midfield player who can also play centre back if called upon.
