CHRIS HANDS ( CAPTAIN )
Has lead from the front steering the Eagles to four straight victories . Having won the individual title in the inaugural Cotswold Connections Cup Chris has constantly been in the shake up for all competitions . Has a very solid all round game but has been known to let certain members of the opposition get under his skin. Responded to 2007s crushing defeat with a perfect record the following year as the Eagles landed there 5th title with Chris at the helm.

Nick is a meticulous golfer in the Bernard Langer mould . Plots his way around a course and rarely takes risks. Finally stepped up to the plate in last years renewel with a perfect record to banish the demons of previous years failures . Could be badly missed by the Eagles this year !

JAMES BERRYMAN
Swing modeled on John Daley and as such is comfortably the biggest hitter in the tournament making him dangerous on par 5's. Wild nature of his game means James blows hot and cold this fact is epitomised by his 10 shot victory in 2004 and the fact he hasn't featured on the leader board since .

HONOURS CHAMPION 2006/2007
MARK WATERHOUSE
Outstanding record with back to back individual titles in 2006 & 2007 respectively. Has a unique, some would say technically inept swing but it somehow yields great scores. Possibly has become a victim of his own success as he struggled to cope with the burden of expectation and a diminishing handicap. None the less a player with such a pedigree should always be feared.

KENNY GRAVES
An excellent rookie display saw Kenny gain three impressive victories. Has a rock solid technique and his golf has improved dramatically over the past 12 months However his over analytical approach to achieving golfing Nivana has left him susceptable m id round mental melt downs and his lack of length make him very insecure !

PETER BERRYMAN
Comfortably the most technically sound player of those who are of advancing years. Still has length off the tee and has good touch. This being the case his record is quite poor . Often manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with some mind boggling shot selections and tends to talk himself out of a match. Has the talent lacks the temperament .

BRIAN MARSHALL
Outstanding match winner going 3 years without tasting defeat. His victories have been a major reason behind the Eagles success . Has only a moderate golf game from tee to green but his putting is nothing short of sensational. Probably harshly handicapped but a string of victories means he will probably remain so and is likely to remain anonymous in his quest for individual glories.

PHILLIP DELLER
A big hitter both in terms of winning matches and accumulating points. Phill has developed a long rhythmical swing which has seen him become the most consistent performer amongst the higher handicappers . Calm persona and dogged determination make Delboy a formidable opponent .

DAVID ROSCOE
Dave has featured regularly in all the respective Cotswold Connections Cup competitions giving testament to his consistency down the years. Desire not to let his team down has been both his strength and weakness as he has been known to heap pressure on himself. Has been a little gem for the Eagles however two day format has exposed stamina doubts on the course and in the bar. Still missing in action !

GEORGE WORKMAN
Goes from the sublime to the ridiculous in a matter of seconds. Don't let his pleasant demeanor hide his steely determination to win. Just when you think you have him beat will suddenly make a string of pars . Though it is probably fair to say you will hear him utter the words " four three's " during the evenings entertainment rather than when analysing his scorecard !Having said that he ramed this comment down my throat by claiming the much coverted king of the 3 s title !
