MEET THE SQUAD

1) JOSH CUDNEY (Cheshire Blades) - Great shotstopper. Claim to fame saving a last minute penalty to earn a draw against the USA at last years tournament.

1) NICK GIBBS (Cheshire Wolves) - New to this years squad. A quiet lad who has impressed in both friendly matches & at training.

2) LUKE STOKES (Red Raiders) - Plays either left back or midfield. Gives 100% wherever he plays.

3) SCOTT "chopper" BIRKS (Red Raiders) - Plays left back , another who gives 100% & if the ball goes past him the player doesnt!!!!!

4) ROSS GODFREY (Red Raiders) - Vice Captain. Centre Midfield. On his day nobody better in the league.

5) WILL MAY (Betley FC) - Another new addition to the squad. Very quiet but has really impressed in friendlies playing at right back.

6) CIARON "beckenbauer" THORLEY (Red Raiders) - Had never played centre back before last years tour but now really does look the part. Commands the back four.

8) NATHAN JONES (Red Raiders) - Captain. Leads by example & well respected by both teammates & management, Great ball winner & passer of the ball.

9) KYLE "adios amigo" SMALLWOOD (Crewe FC) - Striker. Gives 100% in training & matches & chases everything.

11) BEN GUILDFORD (Red Raiders) - Left Midfield. Great crosser of the ball & never lets the team down. Chief cornertaker.

12) ALLEN BRALEY (Red Raiders) - Never says much & only small but very strong for his size & when on the run nobody will catch him.

14) ASH "wright-phillips" WORRALL (Red Raiders) - Only small but lots of skill & never gives up. Scores lots of goals coming in at the back post to meet Ben's crosses.

16) SPENCER "animal" REEVES (Alsager Celtic) - Strong defender who never gives up. Scored a last minute penalty to beat Holland last year - he has had hero status ever since!!!

17) DANIEL HALL (Cheshire Blades) -78 goals for Blades last season & terrorises defences with power & pace.

7) OLIVER "jepo" JEPSON (Alsager Town) - Never stops talking!!!!!!!! Playing a year up but certainly looks the part with the older players.

15) ANDY "hardman" HARDING (Red Raiders) - Another new member of the squad. He has got power, pace & not a lot gets past him,. Also a long throw expert!!!

MANAGER'S SUMMARY OF THE SQUAD:

Fantastic group of lads who give everything & have a great attitude. No prima donnas in the squad & all work for each other. Really looking forward to the Tour & myself & John have received great support from all the players & their parents.
