And with pre-season starting this evening, we begin to tie up the statistical loose ends from last term – beginning with the 42 players to represent the club in National One.
Leading the way was Players’ Player of the Year Willo Bicknell, the No. 8 starting 25 games along with Zach Clow.
Harry Stone went from the off on 24 occasions, while Mike Cooke did 23 times and prop Paddy Harris 18.
A trio of players made 23 appearances, Axel Kalling-Smith an ever-present starter while Ryan Lomas and record-breaker James Baker mixed going from the off with bench impact.
Back-to-back Young Player of the Season Ollie Hodgson was the next most capped Ram, featuring 22 times.
Morgan MacRae and Aaron Tull both started 17 times and were substitutes on four occasions, for 21 outings.
Max Hayman started 20 matches before his season was cut short by injury, with Connor Stapley included the same number of times but adding impact once.
Liam Elston and Ant Marris both featured 19 times, mixing starts and substitute appearances.
Ellis Jones, who became a centurion during the campaign, started on 14 occasions and was a replacement three times.
Mikey Duda and Andrew Lamb were both in 16 matchday squads, Rowan Grundy featuring in one less.
Oli Rhoads and Ed Hoadley (14) were the others to feature in more than half of the games.
Another injury victim, Ben Atkins, played 13 times, while Sam Boxhall and Max Marshall were selected on 10 occasions.
Teenager Paddy Jackson made eight appearances in his debut campaign, with Luke Graham and George Breese claiming seven caps apiece.
Charlie Robson started six times with Pete Austin and Fergus Dick (both five) next in line.
Louis Pereira featured in the first four games before heading to Australia, while Bath loanees Henry Bartlett and Tom Cowan were included three times.
Tom Vasu bagged two outings with eight players – wings Ryan Carr, Alex Mannhardt and Tomek Pozniak starting one each – featuring once.
The other five – Harry Bicknell, Max Brown, Harry Judd, Jasper Spandler and George Tomlinson – all came off the bench.
In total Rams used 42 players last term.
