HARRY TRETT - GOALKEEPER

Former Newport County stopper, Trett brings a commanding presence to the side, blending pin-point distribution with excellent shot-stopping. Following an injury to long standing ‘keeper Jordan Dunning midway through the 2024/25, Trett stepped up and put in a number of outstanding performances to cement his place in the side.

AIDEN HALL – FULL BACK

Calm composed player, solid defender with ability to play out and then join in attacks. Popular member of the squad and all round nice bloke.

ABDUL BANGOURA – FULL BACK

Rejoins the clubs following a season with Cribbs Reserves, lots of ability with pace and athleticism. Loves to get forward and affect the play with good delivery

NICK JONES – FULL BACK

Former Cribbs winger, Nick brings pace, experience and a winning mentality to the side. Nick loves to get forwards with his mazy runs, but is equally adept defensively, making him a real asset on the left

BLERAN THAQI – CENTRE BACK

After a breakthrough season, former Henbury U18s player Bleran continues to put in mature performances at centre back. Strong both defensively and in possession. Bleran was awarded the 2024/25 Young Player of the Season before moving to Cribbs only to return at the start of this season.

JORDAN BUCKETT (CAPTAIN) – CENTRE BACK

A natural leader on and off the pitch, Jordan has matured well into the captaincy, leading by example through consistently putting in strong performances.

GEORGE JAMES – CENTRE BACK

George alternates between centre back and centre forward, both positions he has become adept at. Despite a questionable decision to don white boots this season, George has good feet, excellent vision and passing range, making him a real asset to the side.

CAMERON TARR – CENTRE BACK

A strong, physical presence at back, Cam is excellent in the air and a handful for opposition forwards. Cam has developed a good partnership with Buckett at the back which contributed to our second half of the season revival last season.

MARCUS WILLIAMS (VICE CAPTAIN) – MIDFIELD

Club stalwart, after starting at Under 6’s with Rockleaze Marcus is equally adept at fullback or midfield. A tenacious player, Marcus is a nightmare to play against, winning a lot of ball, and whose low centre of gravity makes him very hard to dispossess. Known to shoot (and occasionally score) from corners.

DREW SAWDON – MIDFIELD

Hard hitting midfielder hailing from the North, 2025-26 Player’s Player of the Season, Drew enjoyed another outstanding season in the 1sts, ending up as top goal scorer (12) as well as being a dominating presence in the midfiel

 

SAM BAILEY – MIDFIELD

Silent assassin, bandit-Bailey is a classy midfielder who both links up play and scores goals through his late runs into the box.

MATT HARRISON – MIDFIELD

Matt is a classy player (like a fine wine) who brings both calmness and an engine to the midfield. Great positional awareness means that Matt rarely needs to sprint, which is just as well…

JACK HOSKINS – MIDFIELD

Hoskins is a versatile midfielder who stepped up from the Reserves last season, putting in a number of key performances, who has continued to impress over preseason.

TOMMY COLLINS – MIDFIELD

Last year’s Managers Player of the Year, outstanding technician, Tommy rarely misplaces a pass and has now added physicality to his game to make an all round box to box midfielder.

.SEAN HEAL – MIDFIELD

Henbury legend Sean rejoined the club at the start of last season after two seasons away at Sharpness. Sean brings both experience and grit to the midfield and has impressed over preseason.

JAMES CAPON - MIDFIELD

Joins from Cribbs Reserves. Technically gifted and can play anywhere in the midfield, scored 10 goals in the County League season and will add experience and quality in the final third

    p11

 


FIN NELMES – MIDFIELD

Young player impressed in pre-season in the centre of midfield, calm in possession and learning with every game and will have a role to play this season.

HENRY PAYNE – MIDFIELD

Strong technical midfield player keeps the ball well and can pick a pass. Another player who has come through the Rockleaze Rangers junior ranks from Under 6’s through to the 1st team.

HARVEY MORAN – WINGER

Harvey rejoined the club from Stoke Gifford midway through the 2024/25 season. Incredibly athletic, Harvey is a nightmare for opposition defenders as he has no ‘off switch’ and is unlikely to give them a moment’s peace.

TATE SHAW – WINGER

He might be built like p!@#, but Tate brings extreme pace to the side, and is an excellent finisher, as demonstrated by his crucial and well taken goals against Bromley Heath and Wick last season.

    p12

 


KAI ELLIOTT – WINGER

Kai is a tenacious and hard-working winger who steps up from the Reserves after a strong 2024/25 season and impressing over preseason.

JOE HODSON – FORWARD

Joe’s fitness levels have long been a club joke and have undoubtedly held him back. But no longer. Joe has put in some serious work over preseason to get fit. If he can maintain these levels across the season, he will be an exciting proposition.

KANE MANNINGS – FORWARD

The experienced forward joins the attack this season providing some know how and a focal point for the attack. Great touch and link up play, hoping to bring the goals

KINGSLEY MILLER – FORWARD

New signing from Easton Cowboys Kinglsey joins the attack and impressed during pre-season with his work rate and goals. Never stops running and a real handful for defenders.

    p13

 


DANNY BURD – FORWARD

Young forward learning the game and can use his height and strength to good effect

JORDAN DUNNING – GOALKEEPER

Great keeper, brings knowledge and experience to the squad and as back up keeper will provide excellent cover when required

His playing career saw 200+ games in the County League scoring over 100 goals across his time with Roman Glass, (where he won the GCL title and Golden Boot), Cribbs and Highridge Utd.

ANDY CAPON – Assistant Manager

“Capes” still technically gifted and made County League appearances for Cribbs last season alongside his coaching role. A playing career which was predominantly at Cribbs also included spells at Clevedon Utd and Bishop Sutton. His tactical knowledge of the game is invaluable to the coaching set up.
 

 

PAUL WESTWOOD – Assistant Manager

“Westy” has played for several local clubs as a striker in his younger years with electric pace and keen eye for a goal or three. Played most of his time in Bristol for Cribbs FC 1st team but also had spells at Mangotsfield United, Almondsbury Town and Winterbourne.

Quedgeley Wanderers have made a bright start to the campaign and are in fine scoring form leading the table, but there is still a very long way to go.

 

QUEDGELEY WANDERERS 4  WICK 0

 

At Waterwells Quedgeley Wanderers put in a thoroughly dominant display for a convincing win over Wick. Quedgeley started brightly and took control early on pressing high and using their pace to unsettle the visitors’ defence. The opening goal for QW came following sustained pressure down the flanks, with Rio Spencer showing great composure in the box to fire low past keeper Gorazd Gigov. Wick tried to work their way back into the game but QW’s midfield continually disrupted their build-up play to create their own opportunities. Riley Stokes capped off an outstanding individual performance by driving forward from midfield to unleash a clean strike past Gigov to double the lead before the break. The home side maintained their rhythm into the second half and Jason Chamberlain was rewarded for his relentless work rate by reacting quickest in the 18-yard box to slot home Quedgeley’s third. Wick kept searching for a way through but the hosts backline held firm to deny them any clear-cut chances and Quedgeley wrapped up a flawless afternoon when substitute Tom De Quincy Adams won and took a penalty that was initially saved by Gigov but he followed up to tuck in the rebound to give Quedgeley the three points with a 4-0 win.

BISHOPS CLEEVE DEV 3  FILTON ATHLETIC 3

 

At Everyone’s Energy Kayte Lane Stadium Bishops Cleeve Development and Filton Athletic produced a tale of two halves and saw the points shared. Trey Merrett gave the hosts an early scare when he spooned a close-range volley over the bar in the opening minute, but it was Cleeve who netted twice in 90 seconds just five minutes later with Callum Debonis at the heart of both goals. Ash Eyles produced a stunning save after Debonis rifled one from range with Monty New on hand to follow in the rebound, and not long after Debonis threaded a lovely ball to Harry Davis to calmly slot past Eyles for 2-0. Further chances for Davis, Cuzner, and New should have seen Cleeve go three clear before Kieran Cooper pulled on back against the run of play with the first half coming to an end. The second half was again eventful and it was the home sides Fin Smith who scored with a stunning dipping volley for 3-1 with twenty minutes to go. Filton pulled one back on 78 minutes through Hussain just moments after Ben Williams had swept one wide at the other end. Merrett was shown a straight red with three minutes to go just before Sam Smith was adjudged to have brought down Chris Hillyer in the box and Kyle Thomas stepped up and buried the spot kick home to salvage a point for Filton at 3-3.

 

STOKE GIFFORD SGS UTD 1

AFC MANGOTSFIELD ROCKS 1

 

Stoke Gifford SGS United were left frustrated as they were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against AFC Mangotsfield Rocks at the SGS stadium. Gifford dominated for large periods of the opening 35 minutes, controlling possession and creating several promising opportunities. However, their inability to convert these chances proved costly and just before the break Mangotsfield struck against the run of play to take a 1-0 lead from Anthony Batt.   Cont>

The hosts responded well and deservedly found an equaliser ten minutes into the second half with Tyler Dunnell-Luff finishing confidently but, even so, David Okoko and Callum Macey were both able to create chances for Mangotsfield. With momentum on their side Gifford pushed hard for a winner with a number of dangerous attacks and near misses in the final 15 minutes with the closest coming when Harry Cole rose highest to meet a cross but his header crashed off the crossbar. A frustrating afternoon for Gifford who couldn’t find the decisive moment and having to settle for a 1-1 draw.

 

TOTTERDOWN UNITED 2  CHALFORD 2

 

At Norton Lane Totterdown United and Chalford met for a game that started with a bang! A through ball from Totterdown’s skipper Ollie Lovell saw Lerone Sinclair outmuscle the Chalford defence and rifle into the top corner for a first minute lead. This spurred Chalford on, and they scored an equaliser with their first meaningful attack through some good play around the box leading to James Keylock slotting home for 1-1. The next big chance fell to the home side with Sinclair through on goal but strangely electing to pass to Jack Waldron despite being one-on-one! Totterdown had another big chance when Lovell was played through by Price and again one-on-one but an uncharacteristic heavy touch gave Sam Neale the chance to scoop the ball up. For the next 25 minutes it was all Chalford and they took the lead through Reuben Barney with Totterdown too slow to close anyone down throughout the whole passage of play. Chalford were getting a lot of joy down the right seeing two crosses flash across the goal and another hit wide from what surely been a third goal.   Cont>

Totterdown finally hit back through Sinclair for 2-2 following great wing play by Price and then Price himself clipped the outside of the post. So, level at half time, and Totts came out after the break with a lot more control with Lovell in particular causing problems squaring to Sinclair whose effort hit the side netting, then Lovell himself forced a good save from Neale. Chalford, however, looked dangerous on the break and a good passage of play led to a goalmouth scramble and a shot dragged wide. Lovell then shot powerfully from range and Neale tipped over, and the good play by Charlie Latham saw his deep cross find Sinclair unmarked with the goal gaping but he could only find the side netting. The game finished 2-2 but Totterdown felt they should have taken all three points with the big chances they had approaching double figures! But nonetheless a good game of attacking football played in good spirit.
