    Interesting ages for our squad. Only eight of them are above 27 years of age which shows how young the whole squad is. People forget that the likes of Gornell and Taylor are only young and still learning.

    Long may they continue to develop!!

    Grandison is beyond all space and time, and therefore has no age.

    But I agree with the rest. Our strikers are so young!

    Aww bless. I wonder if opposition defences took pity on us. I mean, surely Hereford can't be THAT bad?

    Doesn't include loanees, but GT has wisely planned out a young team with a gritty spine (Sharps,SCS, Wroe/Richards/Morgan) that will surely go all the way next season if we aren't promoted this. UTS

    I didn't include any of the loanees as most will return to their parent clubs in the future. Admittedly most of them were in their late teens, or twenty.

    I think Sawyers was the same age as Taylor.
