Two Tranmere Rovers players have been named in the official League One team of the week following their performances against Peterborough United this weekend.
Goalkeeper Joe Collister and defender Aaron Cresswell were the Rovers players selected in the League XI after their impressive displays in Tranmere's 1-0 success over the Posh this weekend, their first league victory of the season.
This is the second time that Collister has been selected in the Team of the Week this season, following on from his selection in the XI after his display against Huddersfield in August.
The 18-year old, making his tenth appearance for the club, and his seventh in row, kept his third clean sheet of the season for Tranmere, making several important saves and confidently claiming several crosses as he helped provent one of the best strike forces in League One from scoring.
Defender Aaron Cresswell meanwhile has been named in the League One team of the week for the first time this season.
The 20-year old, who wore the captain's armband in Tranmere's Johnstone Paints Trophy defeat to Accrington Stanley last week, put in a solid performance against Peterborough, keeping their attacking force down the Tranmere left at bay and proving to be a strong attacking outlet for Rovers too.
A product of the Tranmere academy, like Joe Collister, Cresswell has made the left-back slot his own this season, starting in all eight of Tranmere's matches this year and scored a superb free-kick in Rovers' 2-2 draw at Dagenham and Redbridge nine days ago.
Collister and Cresswell joins the likes of Rochdale trio Craig Dawson, Chris O'Grady and Gary Jones and Bristol Rovers striker Chris Hoskins in the League One team of the Week this weekend.
