St George EIG first team return to action this evening as they entertain Torpedo FC of the Bristol Downs League.

Following the cup final defeat to Congesbury on penaties in May, the team are itching to bounce back aim to push for promotion from the Somerset County Divsion 3.

Club Captain Thomas Bell is confident going in tot he new season commenting "the lads were naturally disappointed after the cup final, especially as we felt we could have won the game over the 90 minutes:, that said we have regrouped over the summer and the attitude in training has been fantastic with the boys raring to go again". The long serving talisman was quick to praise his teammates contuining "we have recruited a couple of extra palyers in to what was already a strong squd so there is certainly some work going on off the pitch, we have lost a couple also as you would expect with Brad Gue moving home to Plymouth and Alfie Tricks awaiting a knee operation". Bell went on "some of the boys have had good offers to move, however they believe in the process and what the direction the club is going and have made that commitment to stay".

One of those player is league top scorer Lewis Bisacre (pictured) who will be keen to better his 38 goals in 30 appearances for the Pill based club last season

Bell's older brother and assistant manager Adam, who was an unused substitute that final defeat is a player who has returned to ful fitness and will no doubt prove a massive boost to the side with Manager Matt Young commenting on the player "Belly is capable of unlocking any side in this division and we cwertainly miss him when he is not playing. He has taken the summer to get over his injury and has looked sharp in training along with the rest of the boys".
