Here is the best Carew squad over the last two decades picked by long serving stalwart Jeremy ‘Carrot’ Griffiths.

Carrot has picked some talented players for The Rooks who have played some cracking football over the last few seasons.

Disappointingly The Rooks lost in the 2019 Senior Cup and West Wales Cup finals, but with the current group of players they are more than a match for any team in Pembrokeshire and further afield.
 




The squad is as follows:



 
GOALKEEPER - IAN KERRISON

Kerro played in the early 2000’s and was a reliable all-round keeper, constantly organising his defence.  Tom Davies and Ben Evans also excelled in the goal keeping department.
 
 

RIGHT BACK - SHAUN WHITFIELD

First of many players comfortable in various positions.  Whitters’ quality in defence and marauding runs down the right in attack at pace and quality gives him the nod over Kris Stone.
 
 


LEFT BACK - HAYDN SHAPCOTT

‘Shappy’ gets the left back shirt just ahead of Adam Chandler. He is a quality defender and is not shy of taking the odd free kick or penalty.
 
 


CENTRE HALF - GARETH LEWIS

A veteran of the current first eam, like Shappy, Gareth has looked after himself.  He is always competitive in every training session.  An excellent defender, who excels in the aerial battle.
 
 


CENTRE HALF - CURTIS HURLOW

Curtis and Gareth have gelled well together in the centre back partnership in the 1^st team. An excellent tackler and ball player who never look flustered.
 

 

MIDFIELD - DARYL JOHN

‘Mr Iron Man’ could have slotted into various positions.  With great pace and energy, he loved Gerald ‘Harky’ Hicks talking him through the matches.
 



CENTRE MIDFIELD - IWAN IZZARD

Izzy and Deano would have been the perfect partnership.  Izzy is a versatile player, aggressive with quality touches and awareness.




CENTRE MIDFIELD - DEAN ROSSITER

Deano played in the midfield for just over 1 season.  Great quality in all aspects of distribution and shooting.  A formidable player who bossed the midfield.
 
 
 
 

CENTRE FORWARD - MIKE BOSWELL

Played upfront as a raw youngest with excellent pace and quality finishing.  Had a knack of being in the right place.


 
 

CENTRE FORWARD - JACK CHRISTOPHER


Jack, like Dean Rossiter, played in the Welsh League for many years.  Jack has all round quality, is prolific in the air, with subtle touches on the deck.  Jack alongside brother Sam and Scott Ferney were excellent in attack in both the Senior Cup and West Wales Cup campaign last season.
 
 


MIDFIELD - LLOYD HUGHES

Lloydy is another talented youngster with natural ability.  He has a quality left foot and is an excellent dribbler who scored important goals last season.  Lloydy pips another talented left footed youngster, Fraser Finlay, who the Rooks signed this season from Pontardawe.
 

SUBSTITUTES


SCOTT FERNEY – Another talented player who has played midfield and in his preferred position up front. A lively forward with quality finishing.

NICK SHELMERDINE – Shelmo, a midfielder with an excellent range of passing and great energy box to box.

CHRIS STONE – Stoner played in the early noughties.  Quality in both defence and midfield.
 

MANAGERS


ROB SCOURFIELD & ADAM HUGHES
 
 
Rob ‘Turkey’ Scourfield has taken the team to three Senior Cup semi finals and a final, two West Wales Cup semi-finals and a final.  An excellent motivator who demands 100% every game.

Adam started the development of the current players with the likes of Shaun Whitfield, Alex Bayley, Lloyd Hughes, Scott Ferney, Iwan Izzard and James Hinchliffe.  Adam is a quiet but shrewd tactician who took over when the team were in Division 2, gaining promotion after two seasons.
