This season’s roster currently boasts two PSC players, captain of the side Eddy Prugh (Las Vegas Combine, 2013) and starting goalkeeper Matt Silva. The last two seasons have proved frustrating for the club, after narrowly missing out on promotion at the climax of both campaigns. Bodens will be attending our events in search of players to strengthen their push for promotion.
