Recent signing John Eudell has now transferred to Division One East Side Didcot Town Reserves. Manager Paul Bedwell is "Delighted" with the look of his new look side but fears "Injuries and suspensions" may take there toll on his small squad.
"The squad is taken shape nicely, I am delighted with it, We haven't a massive squad so we might have a few issues when injuries, suspensions kick in or players start to make themselves unavailable. We are still looking at one or two more players especially now we lost Bradders (Brad Chalmers) and Johhny (Eudell) who both initial signed but have decided to move on for various reasons. I am really looking forward to this season and seeing what we can achieve."
