EVO-STIK Southern Premier League Premier Division

The Lineup

The EVO-STIK Southern Premier, where Leamington goalkeeper Tony Breeden gets the nod as our number 1. Despite scoring 24 less goals throughout the season, Leamington's organised defence held off the challenge of Kettering Town to make the final play-off spot thanks to brutish defensive line.

That impressive work is also recognised along the backline, as Connor Gudger takes his spot in defence. Joining him is a key defender from play-off victors Hungerford Town, as Matt Day takes his spot after a fine season marshalling a resolute defence. League champions Poole Town, who leaked a paltry 35 league goals this season, are represented by Michael Walker, and Hitchin Town's Josh Bickerstaff completes a mean-looking defence.

Dropping anchor in midfield is Will Richards, who has excelled in his fourth spell with league runners-up Redditch United. Completmenting him is Poole's Steve Devlin, who's bursts from midfield have bagged him 9 league goals, and Hitchin Town's Jonny McNamara.

The front-three includes Chippenham's Andy Sandell, whose seven goals during January elevated his club to second place. Their reliance on Sandell became clear during the league run-in, as only 1 goal in his final 8 appearance saw Chippenham, miss out on the play-off spot. Joining him his Tom Meechan. Snapped up after scoring 53 goals for Godqmanchester Rovers the previous season, Meechan translated that form to a high level; his 21 league goals coming only second to Sandell in the chase for the golden boot. Finalising the EVO-STIK Southern Premier XI, Hungerford's Nathaniel Jarvis, who fired in over a quarter of his side's goals this season.
