Minor SPOTTED, but I regularly see Aaron Kuhl round Y8ley. He is in the same social group as Miss-Y8lers' little sister. CSB once more.

Sammy Fridge-Johnson seems to be doing pretty well for the u18s. 5 in 7 as a defensive midfielder.

Shepherd scored on his debut for Bognor as well, described as an "inspired debut"

Looking forward to seeing him play on Friday. I have visions of a 17 year old Bryn.

As opposed to the last Shepherd/Sheppard we had out on loan who was mostly insipid.

If he isn't Bryn and Siggy rolled into one, defensive minded and utility type but with a box to box edge supporting the attack, and a credible threat going forward, I'm not interested.... :lol:

First time I've seen a picture of Kuhl. I always thought he was black for some reason.

Best was when I was a little more naive about the youth teams and asked if Jahson Downes was any connection to Wally.

More good news. Had been hearing whispers of interest from bigger clubs in Kuhl so good to see him on a reasonably long deal. Especially before the Youth Cup gets going, where hopefully these guys will get a good run going and attract more interest.
