Ratcliffe still in Monarch?

All things goalie related on my mind (yes, I don't think about much else!), was pondering over the number of Monarch wearers. Cardiff's Ben Dudley is another in the national league ranks, but just curious to know what kit he's wearing. Ben Shorten used to wear Monarch when playing for Oxted and Sevenoak's reserve junior keeper for the 2009/10 season also wore Monarch kit (not sure which club he's at now!).

As can be told from the only Doncaster photo I could find semblance of a team shot, he's not padded up. No luck there then!


With Mercian making more of a push (or at least, more goalkeepers are starting using Mercian in the EHL!), it's interesting to see if Monarch will have more added to their ranks, alongside Pinner, as they push to up their image as they readjust to the new standards of play/foam etc. that goalkeepers have gotten used to. Ratcliffe used to wear Monarch when playing internationally for Wales U18, think the Lightning range, the lighter foam style like the TK Soft range (as seen in the links); that was obviously a while back (!) so no idea what kit he's using. Just a thought, small and random!
