Clarbeston Road - Pen Pics 2017

	Matthew Davies 21 - Student at Cardiff Met Goal Keeper Travels home from Cardiff to play in goal but can also play outfield as an added bonus – and a Clarbie player since his under 10 days. Strong in the air and a very good shot stopper who links well with his back four in commanding his penalty area.
	Reinhallt George 21 - Electrician Right Back He hails from Maenclochog and has played for Clarbie for over a decade, including throughout his junior days. He is strong in the tackle and a very good reader of the game with his ability to cut out danger at an early stage – and enjoys pushing forward when the chance arises.
	Dan Rees 35 - Process Operator Central Defender Dan typifies what is good about the club he has served well for 25 years – resisting the temptation to play elsewhere when things weren’t going as well as now. A no-nonsense central defender, he is very strong in the tackle and commands the air – and a real threat as he pushes forward at attacking set-pieces.
	Tom Glover 25 - Farrier Central Defender Tom is a versatile player who has been at Clarbie for four seasons and has formed a powerful central defence with Dan Rees as they complement each other. He is a good reader of the game who is adept at plugging gaps, as well as being a strong tackler and a committed player in the air.
	Llewellyn George 26 - Works on family farm Left Back The older brother of Reinallt he completes the family full back partnership and another player who has only played for his one club after coming through the junior ranks. He is very quick and has a very good left foot which ensures the ball is played well out of defence after making his characteristically strong tackles.
	Mike Turpin 26 - Estate Agent Central Midfielder Undoubtedly the team’s playmaker who loves to sit in midfield and set his front runners into action with his nifty left foot delivery of telling passes. Specialises at corners and free kicks and when he plays well Clarbeston Road usually look in top form so he will be a key player on the big day.
	Raff Barnett 38 - Builder Central Midfielder The ‘old timer’ of the team who has appeared in Senior Cups with Narberth – and now a vital midfield cog as he uses his vast experience to good effect as an organiser and tidier-up of loose play. Raff clearly still enjoys his involvement and is a good ball winner who also uses his height to good effect at set pieces – and a real danger man in the final.
	Josh Wood 16 - Student Right Wing The undoubted ‘baby’ of the team who has made a superb transition from junior football at the club and settled in well to the hurly-burly of senior football as uses his pace and strength to good effect. Will remember his first goal for Clarbie’s first team – it was the winner against Goodwick United in the semi-final!
	Jason Griffiths 29 - Lab Technician Striker Jason joined Clarbie from West Dragons several years ago and now a key attacker with his unerring nose for goals as a constant threat in the opposition penalty area. Defences can never relax if he is about and as well as scoring in the semi-final he is well on the way to another 40-goal haul by the end of the season.
	Richard Bevan 27 - Teaching Assistant Striker Undoubtedly the ‘quiet man’ of Clarbeston Road but the perfect foil up front with his unselfish running to draw defenders out of position and create space for others. He is good in the air and strong with both feet – and proof of his effectiveness can be gauged from the fact that he has already scored 34 goals at the time of writing!
	Matthew Griffiths 28 - Process Operator Utility Player ‘Maestro’ hails from Slebech and is the undoubted joker of the pack who can play in almost any position and sure to play an important part role in the final as a result. He has been with the club right throughout the junior ranks and shows 100% commitment on the field, with skill aplenty allied to real strength in the tackle and good distribution skills.
	Gregg Brown 24 - Match Analyst, WRU Midfield Gregg is the son of club chairman Steve Brown and another who came through the junior ranks, where he was part of a superb team which won the treble of junior league, cup and West Wales Cup. He is an excellent reader of the game who links strength aplenty with high skill levels – and someone who is missed when his work in rugby takes him away!
	Tom Reubens Attacker Tom joined Clarbie last season and featured strongly in last season’s 2nd division cup winning season. Tom is strong on the ball and has tremendous pace which gives the team another option going forward. He can also fill in anywhere required. He has missed a few games of late due to an operation."
	Jacque Montague 16 - Student Midfield Another talented youngster who has successfully made the transition this year to force his way into first-team contention. Jack can play anywhere, although he probably prefers midfield, where he reads play so well – and certainly a player to watch for the future as he gains in experience.
	Matthew Ellis 32 - IT Technician Player Manager Matthew is in his third season with the club and took over the managerial reins this year whilst still being an important midfield player still in his own right. Previously played in a Senior Cup Final with Haverfordwest County and still very skilful and organised on the pitch, as he is in his off-field duties – and rightly held in high regard by all at Clarbeston Road.
	Jason Wood 47 - Assistant Manager NHS Estate Manager Jason is the proud dad of young Josh and after giving great service at Lawrenny joined Clarbie a decade ago – and looked after the junior team from under 8 to under 16 before they finished last campaign. As well as helping his manager on match days he also fulfils another vital role as manager of the seconds as a great club man who gives 100% to the cause!
