Zak — 200 games Words by Steven Chapman

Zak is an ever-present stalwart of the club. A reliable and versatile midfielder who will always give his all at training and in games. Known for his searing long balls, probing passes and thunderous strikes from distance, Zak has racked up a very impressive 40 goals in 95 games since 2014 in the Bs (sorry Zak, that's all the stats I have available to me). Seemingly aging like fine wine, last season saw him pick up the Bs best and fairest medal and top scorer with 6 goals in 15 games (please ignore the fact that our top scorer had 6 goals, and please don't sack me).

Zak's other achievements throughout his time at POSSC include being the first squads manager (trust me, this deserved a medal), winning back to back championships in the Bs (including his stellar 2015 season in which he scored 13 in 18 games from midfield) and coming on for the As in their first cup game last season against Westminster and assisting 3 goals to help win the game (and eventually the cup).

Congratulations Zak on 200 games, hopefully you can score another beautiful free-kick against Rostrevor to kick off the next 100.
