Bradley Wraith leads the way with a very satisfactory first season.
Ryan Downie also making his debut this season has shown signs of promise.
Kent Stothard yet again making his debut also showing signs of promise, all three of these players have barely been playing the game 1 year and have done remarkably well to compete with some of the ‘seasoned’ players in this division.

Our final team is another which can be directly credited to the efforts of this club.
The are led by Harry Altoft the most experienced player of the group with one years extra experience.
Ryan Mitchell is Eagles second player showing great improvement from the beginning of the season.
Marc Dibdin another playing his first season has shown massive improvement since the season has gone on.
