1 Allcock, Stuart "BOOM"
Captain/Founder - Bit old, slow, and doddery but he’s the coach, so that’s all right. A water-aholic and Italy lover. Once scored a penalty during a game featuring many old England players, now in their 40’s, or so he says. Sure one of them had a bus pass. May be not, so impressive at all then! |
Hill, Matt "MATEAUS"
Chairman - We need players who can perform under pressure and after a 13-mile run, 13 pints and 13 kebabs – he’s your man! Sometimes his joints (parts) creak and need oiling – ROBO-KORF he is. Fluent in Japanese, well beer, ale, and water (for the coach). Team raconteur from his “London init” days!

5 Hill, Angela “ACE”
Marketing Guru, Twiglets for fingers, and a league tennis player, hence the nickname I think. Also, this happens to be her initials. Just so, people don’t think she’s being all precious :-)! Better half of “Mateaus”. Watch her after an "end change", she’ll run straight to the basket and goal hang. A tiger in defence and another force to play against, I’d imagine…………… |
Hicks, Tam
If you’re heading down the wrong path, Tam is your lady. “Is she a shrink?”, “No, she works on footpaths and rights of way”, now a teacher. Luckily blessed with a height advantage over most opponents. Recently she marked someone who was 2 feet shorter, and she was 5ft 10! |

13 ¾ Hill, David “HILL”
Plays with kids’ toys for a living! Strong basketball experience, hence his strong one-handed shot. Top club goal scorer and scored his first after just 4 seconds. Out playing sport every night, or at home playing video games, or watching Star Wars. His better half follows…….she had to join to see him! |
Manning, Hilary "SLICK"
Availability Co-ordinator Ex-legend of Bristol University who found herself in our, now her's, back yard! Prone to spending more time tending to her vegetables, than playing korfball. Often wears a huge scarf she nicked from the 1970’s Doctor Who. Scored three goals in her first game, in about 10 minutes! |
 |
 |
100 Hill, Hannah “PIGLET”
The one that took the longest to convince she should join us J! Prone to trying to break the basket from distance. Fits Korfball in between international stage performances. Another of our players with a close association with “Twiglets” and “Band Aid”. Sponsorship should be no problem. |
Fillary, Matt
Likes eating out but insists on using the Martin Luther King trick to get served first. Probably the team's most complete athlete, never tires or needs to lie down to rest. Only player to score two goals in a game when he only had two other players (normally 4 per end). |
 |
 |
Francis, Mark “FRANNIE”
This guy is never at home, pool, football, korfball (obviously) cricket and drinking being his favourite pastimes. Arguably his best sport is, "by the bar". Has a 2nd home in Swansea and recently had a hair cut. Only player to complain when subbed on!! |
Pow, Mark "KA-POW"
Loves training, hates league games. Has an import business from China, not sure the legality of the goods! His ficitious girlfriend actually turned out to be real! We've only seen her the once though.
Best Citroen salesman for miles around. |
 |
 |
McKee, Chris
Right headbanger! Prone to chasing lost causes, which usually ends in injury. Now he's decided to turn up to training, we're benefitting from his improvement! |
White, Ali "BONGO"
Our defence and collecting queen, prone to getting black eyes - asset driven!! Once gave up both chocolate and crisps for lent - never again! Sensitive re-jokes about the new glasses.
Toffee for ankles. |
 |
 |
Lewis, Sheena
The 1st of our many Vet Practitioners!! Spies on other teams by making their players part of her extended family. |
Bissell, Dawnii
Does a great impression of a two fingered monster. Another 'lent abiding', 'candy ankled' netballer, realising korfball is by far the better game. |
 |
 |
Knowles, Andrew 'Barney'
Our token Northerner, known for his huge sweat glands and speed around the court. Don't mention where the first Marks and Sparks shop was opened!
He's a gravy-aterian, needing chips and gravy, often. |
Carillo, Gabriel
Our Social Secretary and Overseas Player from Panama. From the region of the small mouthed Central Americans. A nuclear scientist working at Hinkley Point, having transferred from Chernobyl. Evidently, we've nothing to worry about, anyone want to buy my house? |
 |
 |
Groves, Ben
2nd Team Captain and nutter! Covers more ground than the carpets laying over UK households' floors. Reading FC's only known fan. Loves different types of teas! |
Crabb, Michelle
Our treasurer - loves Oasis and anyhing Manc - "sorted, mad for it, top of the world".
Can't stop drawing on things, as shown! Works in bus shelters. |

Turner, Chris
F1 mad, favourite team Renault. Photo taken from the Monaco pit lane! Mr "Perfect" technique with goals to boot. Vet number 2 and a recent addition to the "married" club. |
Turner, Claire
Vet no 3! Loves 'wild' cats. This was a cub, fetch - gulp! Shame about that arm, she's brilliant with the one.
<<<<<<<<<< wife to the Grand Prix dude! Obviously danger is their 'common ground'. |
 |
 |
Roche, Sarah
Yummy Model Mummy! Family life, 12 kids - keeps her from training and playing regular matches, but she always makes an impact when she does play. |
Smith, Elle
Team wine expert! Regular trips to vineyards keeps her from training and playing often. May be Sarah owns a vineyard! Best player ever to come out of Highbridge. |
 |

Gilder, Bryony
Owns the only known 3 legged '20-a-day' rabbit, just don't tell her parents!! Knows lots of taxi drivers who'll work for nothing. |
Lee, Trisha
Owns pink 'nuclear' trainers, must work at Hinkley Point with Gab! Loves baking with pasta. |
 |
 |
Pitman, Adam
Alarming in so, so many ways! Wears Iron man pj's, or so all the girls tell me. Prone to causing family arguments and sleeping through nuclear war! |
Phillips, Chris
Geordie Welshman! Newest recruit, so the editor doesn't have enough material on him just yet. |
 |
 |
Bissell, Heather
Loves a pre-match interview and having a man try to impress her with his eating habits. Commitment admired by her team, having to stay over night after training sessions, commuting all the way from Minehead! |
