Championship Squad of the Week: The Clubs Have Nominated — Now We Decide

Clubs across the Colleges Championship have submitted their Squad of the Week nominations. Here are the players put forward — and the club reasons behind every nomination.


Each week, clubs across the Colleges Championship are invited to nominate players they believe deserve consideration for our Squad of the Week.
The nominations and reasons below come from the clubs themselves.
They are not Footy Focus selections. From these nominations, we will select our final Championship Squad of the Week.

Mr reliable just gets the job done and is getting better as the weeks go by. Makes the manager and coaches jobs easier when he plays like this

MIDFIELDERS

STRIKERS 

STR – Taylor Lamont – Gladstone Athletic
 A hat trick of goals and assists yesterday he tormented the opposition the full game.  He was unplayable and produced another man of the match display.

STR – Dylan Mcgonigle – Gladstone Athletic
A hat trick of assists for the striker and also on the scoresheet.  Really showed his quality on Saturday with some terrific link up play.

STR – Lewis Bentley – Pollok United L
first start for Lewis after a brilliant cameo midweek and he repaid that faith with a brace and his all round play was exceptional and deserved.

STR  – Greame McCallum – Clydebank SMFC
Four goals for the inform striker, The Bankies will be hoping McCallum can keep up the scoring streak.

STR – David Duffy – Remo FC
Another double from the inform striker helped seal a big victory for his club Remo FC

The Championship clubs have had their say. Now we have to somehow pick the final squad.

And there are some serious numbers among these nominations.

Four goals for Graeme McCallum. A second-half hat-trick for Sean Cullen. Taylor Lamont with a hat-trick of goals and assists, while Dylan McGonigle produced three assists and got himself on the scoresheet.

But it isn’t only about goals. There are clean sheets, defensive performances, midfielders controlling games and players making the difference when their teams needed them.

The nominations belong to the clubs. The final selections belong to us.

This might not be easy.
