NAME:
Jason Hoare
POSITION : GoalkeeperLEFT
THE SQUAD IN 2009 REPLACED BY SHAUN 'MOLEY' HICKS
"Jason Goliath" signed for Carpeteers on Xmas day 2008 after getting the boot from
previous team Chesney United. He helped guide Chesney to promotion in 2
successive seasons to get them from Division 3 into the Premiership. He was
replaced at Chesney by former Carps goalie Dan 'Ozzie' Osbourne. Jason
played 1 season with Carps helping them to 3rd in the Premiership before work
commitments forced him to leave. Now works in South Africa for 6 months of the
year.
NAME: Craig Phillips
POSITION : Striker
They call him the "Goal Machine" and he usually lives up to his name. Played his first Carps game on 16th March 2007 as a stand in [ and scored in a 1-0 win over Neil Truan Motors ] but when he fell out of favour at fellow 6 a side team Poltair Predators, he was snapped up to play alongside Gareth Geach in the Carps attack. Craig hit two goals on his official Carpeteers debut against St Stephens in the cup QF on 17th August 2007 and he is currently the all time leading Carpeteers
goal scorer having netted well over 100 times already. Craig is also very handy in goal and can slot in anywhere on the
pitch if needed to. He is also the vice captain.
NAME: Ricko
Barker
NAME: Neil Slaughter
NAME: Carl Webster
LEFT THE SQUAD IN 2009
POSITION : Midfield
"Webby" is one of the original Carps and he has felt the pain of defeat in the early days, and the joy of title glory in more recent times. His best place is in the centre of midfield where his heading and passing of the ball to set up the strikers has been a crucial link to so many goals scored. He has been lucky enough to avoid injuries during this time as well
and is a key part of the side. He also has a habit of popping up and scoring
goals in massive games. His tally of 9 from midfield during the Carps
Championship win in 2008 was very impressive. Webby was the most
capped Carpeteer until he decided enough was enough, and hung up his boots
midway through 2009.
NAME: Gareth Geach
POSITION : Striker
"Geachy" became an instant hit at the Carpeteers after making his debut in a league match against Gover on 11th May 2007. Geach, a relative unknown, smashed his way onto the scene in amazing fashion becoming the first ever Carps player to score a hat trick in that very first game. He
didn't look back from there as he ended the season as top scorer and no doubt helped the Carps to Division 1 glory in the winter of 2007. His deadly left foot has destroyed many nets while his pace and quick feet are a nightmare for defenders and he looks to be fighting fit again after some nasty injury worries during early 2008.
Geach is still a menace to defenders in 2010.
NAME: Andrew Geach
POSITION : Midfield
"Andy" would have to be player of the season during the Carpeteers 2008 Championship title win as he hit 14 goals from defence and midfield. Incredibly, he was only brought in as a stand in player for his brother Gareth who suffered a 3 month injury set back. Andy however, really worked well within the team and even when Gareth returned to action, the team could not let someone of Andy's qualities go, so Carpeteers
have kept him in the squad. His input on all areas of the pitch have been
fantastic for us.
NAME: Gavin Kitts
POSITION : Defence
Gav really is "the rock" of the team's
defence. He has settled into the defence of the Carpeteers with
consummate ease and totally loves it. He will win nearly every ball put his way and always lets a good striker know he's there at some point during a match with a crunching tackle. Amazingly Gav was signed by Ricko
in March 2007 as a replacement STRIKER for Dan Nicholls after Tornadoes didn't want him [ they tried to re-sign him 6 months later after Carps had won the Division 1 title ]. Gav scored in his first game against Gherkins on 23rd March 2007 but filled in at the back in the next match. He wanted to stay in defence after that and he
hasn't looked back since.
NAME:
Steven Dash
POSITION :
Midfield
"Dashy" is now the Carpeteers main back up player and he is happy in
this role after getting the boot from former team Chesney United. Injuries have
affected the team heavily in the past 6 months and Dash has stepped in to help.
He is best at chasing down the ball out on the flanks and his neat feet work can
help to pin point some great passes to other players. He will be needed on
various more occasions as the title battle heats up in the future.
