Having now not played for 2 weeks here's our chance to meet some of the players.

CONNOR CLAYTON aka Dependable Duck. Prop forward, top tackler, accused of being Hastey's son, he's ugly enough so I can see the resemblance, one of the first names on the team sheet each week (he wears the number 1 shirt) and according to Brookesy can play in every position on the field.
JAMIE OWENS aka Disaster Duck. Hooker in the rugby sense, no sense of direction, can't tell the time, couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo but I love him, just a laugh a minute even though he doesn't mean to be. Another player you have to pick every week as he gives everything he's got. Collects to many yellow cards for my liking but can't have everything.
TYLER BROOKES aka Duck Ling. Prop forward/2nd row, the baby of the team, last seasons Ducks Young Player of the Year, quiet, easily led, eats kebabs when drunk with Nath, needs to pick his mates better. Another player you'd want on your team when the going gets tough, always wants to be on the pitch, hates being taken off.
TONY BRETT ROBERTS aka Soprano Duck. Prop forward, Ever so slightly over weight but is a regular in the gym (goes once every year, if you believe Brookesy), the quickest prop on two feet, doesn't know how to respond to texts, phone calls, what's app messages, carrier pigeons, messages in bottles, smoke signals but when you can get hold of him he's a Top Man.
SEAN HASTEWELL aka Daddy Duck, 2nd row, father of Connor (so Theo reckons), re-invented himself years ago as a 2nd row as he grew older and lost the little pace he had (he's actually slower than he looks), points the young lads in the right direction on the pitch, talks a lot, great at camouflage, the lads think he contributes every week, must have photos of some of them.
CAL GRAHAM aka Scooter Duck, 2nd row, suffers from a continuous Bad Hair Day, wannabe Mod but can't get his scooter to go (it's now been impounded by the club), another one to watch and nurture, could become a useful player as he gains more experience.
JON OATES aka Spelling Duck, 2nd row, son of a doctor, looks really intelligent (looks can be deceiving), lovely lad, teacher. In truth you wouldn't want him teaching engleesh to your kids, worst speller I've ever come across, good job you don't need to spell to be a decent rugby player, all round good egg.
MARTYN BROWN aka Peking Duck, centre/wing, claims to be part Tongan, Kiwi, Asian, Chinese and English, won last seasons Ducks Overseas Player of the Year Award, only gets a game because his better half is the Ducks Official Photographer, became a Galactico this season which was long overdue, quickest player in the squad, c_ap at passing.
MATT BROOKES aka Galactico Duck, fly half/centre, wannabe hairdresser, fitness instructor, he's actually got a worse hairstyle than Cal Graham, part of the Top Knots are us club (sad people). Responsible over the last few seasons with Wendall and Tom for keeping the Ducks together, club man ( if you cut him in half, would bleed 1871.)
TOM REDFEARN aka Vanity Duck, Hooker/back row/centre/wing/anywhere you want me to play, loves himself, great side step (off one leg, dislocates his knee cap if he steps the other way), quickest hooker on the Wirral, can't pass/won't pass, sh_t at rugby according to his brother!, opinionated (says it like it is), gets a shirt because his dad's Mother Duck.
CHRIS DAVIES aka Vanishing Duck, prop forward, my illegitimate son (so he tells me when I'm at the bar), actually made his senior debut for the club in two different positions at the same time (he's actually that good or was that Wendall his alter ego). Not been able to play yet this season but definitely a Ducks Legend.

That's all for know but there is more to come, you've been warned.
