Goalkeepers

Name: Gary Elliott
Previous Clubs: Horsham
DOB: 03.11.1985

Arguably the best goalkeeper in the division and has been the difference between none, one and three points on many occasions. Superb command of his area and very difficult to beat.

KIT SPONSOR:

Name: Mark Beaumont
Previous Clubs: None
DOB: 27.03.1985

Another Storrington man through and through... Mark has been loyal to the club as he certainly has the ability to be another side's permanent number one. Great shot stopper and absolutely fearless, very much acts as the fifth defender.
