The 2009/10 Castlers season started with an almost entirely new line up after losing numerous key players over the summer months. It took several weeks for the squad to bed in to their positions and learn each other's strengths. Results over this period were disappointing and did not reflect the balance of play for many matches.
Team performances improved with the run in to Christmas and our first win came against top-half side Winchcombe in January. With boosted confidence the second half of the season looked promising. Unfortunately player shortages led to some heavy defeats. Despite this the determination of the core of the side shone through culminating in a frustratingly close 0-2 defeat away to Lansdown C after an outstanding performance with just 8 players!
Overall the season has been a period of building and development, and the signs are good for a successful forthcoming 2008/09 for the Castlers players. Look out 3As in next years Derby matches!
Thanks go to the experienced team regulars for their unvarying support including Peter Millen, Peter Kirkness, Mark Vacher, Dean Rae, Godfrey Morgan and Roy Taylor. Congratulations to the young players for their commitment, and who have improved so much over the course of the season, including Eddie Cheadle, James Thomas, Charlie Dolby and Peter Ledger. Thanks also to Sam Ridler, Duncan O'Sullivan and Jean-Paul. Special thanks go to Peter Millen for captaining the side at those times I was unavailable, and best wishes to Pete 'Pedro' Cole who missed the second half of the season through injury. I hope I've included everyone above.
