reddogkev Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/young-pair-sign-professional-contracts-2768244.aspx2 new contracts dished out to a couple of our young City lads.Congrats to the pair of them, here's hoping they turn out to be future stars. Interesting to read that Lloyd was originally scouted playing for Bristol Central, I heard a piece about the club on local radio two days ago and wondered if we ever scouted their players.So for those here who watch the younger players, what's your current assessment of Kelly and Dowling?

Came forward well down the left hand side and seemed full of confidence. Looked a good one for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 From what I've seen, Kelly needs to bulk up a bit more. Got bullied out in Portugal by a few of the opposition players. If he hits the Bryan/Freeman school of bulking then he could be very good.Dowling has a terrific shot on him, not as good as Morrell in my opinion but still looks promising.

My son has played them many times and they were fine. One of the better behaved sides. Bobby Reid played for them I think. They had no arrogance, unlike some of the sides from the South Gloucestershire area particularly. George Dowling is ex Ashton Boys as well as being a decent cricketer apparently. Great to see to proper Bristolian boys being given the chance to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see to proper Bristolian boys being given the chance to shine. I played cricket with him, decent cricketer to be fair. In honest just an all round sportsman and really down to earth lad. Can only see a bright future for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chivs Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is it just me that thinks "Lloyd Kelly and George Dowling" sounds like a 1950's music hall variety act involving a bowler hat and a piano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
