Check out this month’s XI below:
Goalkeeper – Phil Grange (Gloster Rovers) – Grange is the obvious choice for the goalkeeper, having put in a superb display in the Fred Gardiner Shield final. A very unlucky loser on the day, having kept Levens at bay for the most part.
Centre Back – Phil Webb (Longlevens 5ths) – Webb had a cracking month, scoring twice and winning the league title and Fred Gardiner Shield with his side.
Centre Back:- Toby Boakes (Longlevens U18s) – Boakes had yet another impressive month. Scoring goals and captained the young Levens side to lifting the CYFL North title in Alex Knight’s absence. A wonderful season as a whole.
Centre Back – Ed Scott (Bishops Cleeve U18s) – Scott chipped in with two goals for his side as they won in the CYFL end of season play-offs at Longlevens, and then helped his side secure the GFA U18s Shield against Dursley.
Midfield – .Tim Ranken (Abbeymead Rovers) – Ranken had a great showing in the GFA Junior North Cup final, scoring one setting up a Xander Jones effort with an exquisite pass. He is a key member in the Rovers side and has played his part in another successful season.
Midfield – Lucie Jones (Dursley Town Ladies) – Jones was the stand-out player as Dursley secured a crucial win away at Longlevens and was a constant threat throughout. A real eye-catching display.
Midfield – Xander Jones (Abbeymead Rovers) – A terrific free kick and well taken second saw Jones play a key role in Rovers lifting the Junior North Cup and he continues to be one of the best players in the Stroud League.
Midfield – Kiril Halahen (Bishops Cleeve U18s) – Halahen was the MOTM for the U18s Shield final and his steady performance in midfield allowed the flair players like Noah Parker and Bryan Stalley to attack. A really self-less showing.
Midfield – Lucabella Davis (Gloucester City Women) – Davis impressed during City’s Women’s Trophy win over Frampton. She fired home her penalty to give her side a two goal cushion and it capped a wonderful 90 minutes for her.
Forward – Sachi Kaneko-Grun (Gloucester City Women) – Kaneko-Grun did everything but score during the Women’s Trophy final. Grabbed an assist and then won the penalty and was the best player on the pitch on the night. It has topped an incredible season for the forward.
Forward – Joe Hanks (Gloucester City) – There is nothing Joe Hanks can’t do. He has turned into a makeshift number 9 and he even flourishes in that role. City’s best player this season and a man who will be in the running for a couple of awards in the Severn Sport End of Season Awards.
Here is the XI in full (via a brand new, fancy graphic):
The subs bench includes 7 players to impress over the month and in full, they are below:
Luke Salter (Hartpury University)
Sam Fagan (Gloster Rovers)
Harry Hogg (Dursley Town U18s)
Connor Winman (Longlevens 3rds)
Elis Watts (Gloucester City)
Jack Lee (Abbeymead Rovers)
Jordan Grinnell (Gloster Rovers)
This month’s team will be managed by Gloucester City’s Mike Cook after he led his side to the Southern League play-off final on Bank Holiday Monday.
