SHAMAL George's superb opening-day display for Colchester United at Carlisle United has been acknowledged after he was named in the Sky Bet League Two Team of the Week.

George was in excellent form for the U's in their 0-0 draw at Brunton Park, pulling off a string of impressive saves.

The highlight of his performance was arguably a sensational double reflex save in the second half, when the former Liverpool youngster denied Tristan Abrahams and Jon Mellish in quick succession.

 

George played his part in helping Colchester keep a clean sheet and claim an away point, on the opening day of the new League Two season.

It meant that George started the new season as he had finished the last, in helping the U's keep a clean sheet on their travels.

It was George's eighth clean sheet in 16 league appearances for the U's, after he made his league debut for the U's against Scunthorpe United in January.
