1st XI
The season was, on reflection, a successful one, with a solid win ratio which could have easily been 80/20 if the team had taken its chances. In almost every match, the team displayed desire and a good work ethic. The Player of the Season went to Tristan Chapman for his consistent displays in midfield, whilst Player’s Player was Linus Schreier for his outstanding efforts in goal. The Most Improved Player award went to Kachi Udokporo. U16A Squad: Linus Schreier, Eric Swinn-Ward, Hugh Macdonald-Parry (Capt.), David GalindoCutillas, Joe Nulty, Tristan Chapman, Kachi Udokporo, Will Freeman, Neo Caine, Bukunmi Lajumoke, Enoch Oludoyi, Philipp Braun, Nasir Asunramu and Joe Snazzle-Holding.

From the outset, the squad demonstrated skill, but found itself too often outpaced by strong opposition. Impressively, the boys applied themselves purposefully in training and their shape began to emerge after a couple of early matches. Ross Gilding’s work on the right side meant that there was always an attacking menace on the wing. A tireless Ambrose Thwaites played almost every minute of the season up front. The thoughtful running and goal-threat of Akeem Akinniyi on the left wing was often complemented by the cultured passing of Richard Sustmann who anchored the midfield, in front of an increasing solid back four, led ably by Elliott Bayley and Ebow Crankson. Behind them, Jaden Alie made some spectacular saves in goal. One of the final matches saw both Pierre Paul and Kojo Adu score, either of which could be considered goal of the season, both struck superbly from outside the box.

SKIL League 2015/16: 7th Place The team experienced a difficult season, not helped by losing our number one goalkeeper to injury. We had to employ one of our best outfield players in goal, but despite these setbacks the team remained enthusiastic and
fully committed. There were a couple of notable matches. The 5-1 demolition of Worth sticks in the memory, as does the 2-1 victory over Warden Park, when the team played some of its best football. There were some outstanding performers. Seni Ashiru showed himself to be a strong, quick and skilful left footed midfielder. At left back, Logan Vickers showed tenacity, whilst captain Charlie Robinson led by example. The Player of the Season award went to Matthew Attalah. He ran his heart out and was a constant threat in attack. He is lightning quick, possesses a powerful shot and was consequently top scorer.
