   9 Dafydd Bowles

   Preferred position: Unknown

   Started playing at a very early age, I started at a club in north Wales called Monsanto. While I was there I went on to play for North Wales U14s through to U21s and Wales U15s through to U21s. I then moved to Coventry to go to uni where I played for Coventry and North Warwickshire and Warwickshire U21s and seniors where I won the county championships and came runner up twice. I then went and played national league for Bournville where I was averaging 21 goals a season. After a couple of years my knees stopped me playing and since then I have had several operations on my legs to get it sorted and I am now here at Hampton where I feel at home.

   10 Chris Popplewell

   Preferred position: Midfielder

   Started playing aged 12 because I wasn't any good at rugby. Tried to leave the club when I went to uni, somehow ended up back at hampton. Tried to take a break from hockey the following season, again somehow ended up back at hampton. Planned to leave the club this season, didn't quite manage that either. Have now accepted it is impossible to leave this club, and cant wait to become back to back Champions. Prem here we come!

   69 Olly Manning

   Preferred position: Defender

   I first started playing hockey at they age of twelve, one year later I started playing for Hampton-In-Arden. After captaining the 2nd XI for a year, I had a year away from the club when I played for Hull University 1st XI. I returned to play for Hampton 1st XI at the beginning of the 2010/2011 season, and after being tempted to leave this season after having to play an entire season with Grafton and half a season with Popplewell, the sheer quality of players that the club possesses convinced me to stay.
