ANDREW ROLLASON IS THE NEW PLAYER COACH FOR THE 1ST TEAM.

Richard and Lee are delighted to announce the news that Andrew Rollason is the new first team player coach. Richard said" Andrew will bring something different to the club and what i like about him is that he is respected by all the players and i feel that now is the right time for him to step up into a coaching role. Not only is he one of the fittest player's i have but he is professional throughout and shares the same vision as us in gaining promotion to the Western League.

Andrew replaces Danny Burwood who has had to step down due to family/work commitments although Danny has committed himself to the club as a player which Richard and Lee are absolutley delighted about as he is a quality player.

MIDFIELD PLAYERS TOP ON MANAGER'S LIST

Richard and Lee are targeting two top local midfielders to help boost the squad for this season's campaign. He is also looking at possibly another striker as Harry Taylor is away on holiday til October. Lee said" We are always on the lookout for good local players but they have to be right for this club. We do have a decent budget but we won't pay stupid money to anyone, and any new signings will have to gel as a member of the team as there are no individuals at this club"

ALL 1ST TEAM PLAYERS WANTING TO STAY FOR 2009/10 SEASON

Richard was pleased to annouce that every player that he has spoken to on the phone wants to stay at the club for the new season. Richard said " it goes to show what team morale we have here and the desire that all players want to sitck together and do even better than last year. I have told them all that this doesn't garauntee them a place in the squad as they will have to work just as hard as they did last year but if we can all work hard and possibly add two or three additions then we might just surprise people this year"
