Gary or Mark’s son?

He is Louie Holzman and is a defender and that`s all i can find out. Adie Williams will know.

Gary or Mark’s son?

Some very kind person has told me that Louie is Mark`s nephew, so i`m not sure if that means he`s Gary`s son ?
Edit Gary has kindly told me on Facebook that yes he is his son, so that clears that up.

U 23`s at home again tomorrow with a 1pm KO at Bearwood against Middlesbrough.

Boyce Clarke seems to have a fairly decent record of saving penalties, another two saved today - concerned that he seems to give so many away in the first place though

[Royals and Racers]

FT 2-4 another poor home performance and with only 4 matches left now, i reckon 3 wins will be needed to have any chance of getting in the top 5.

The U 18`s have just lost 4-1 at West Ham this morning. 0-0 at half time, conceding 3 Hammers goal in 16 minutes at the start of the 2nd half was their downfall.
Maybe the Royals have another star in the making- 16 year old Harvey Maunder described as an attacking midfielder scored the Reading goal- his 7th in 15 matches this season.
