Garry and Jeff depart the club this week having guided the first team to three top four finishes in the Central Midlands Alliance League Premier Division South, including a runners up spot in the 2022-23 season. The same season, the team were vicrotious in the Buckingham Insurance League Challenge Cup, beating league champions Clay Cross at Alfreton Town's Impact Arena. This was followed up last season with victory in the Derbyshire FA Divisional Cup South with a win on penalties over Derby Singh Brothers at Ilkeston Town's Microlise New Manor Ground.

They leave having joined the first team coaching staff after a successful 2022-23 season with Mickleover RBL Reserves, winning the Derbyshire FA Junior Saturday Cup on penalties over Inter Belper at Ilkeston Town's Microlise New Manor Ground.

Garry and Jeff have been instrumental in creating a family atmosphere within the first teasm and have encouraged the team to become a very strong part of the club as a whole, making sure that they have been involved in all club activities and presentation days during their time at the helm.

Thank you all so much for everything you have done during your time at the club. The club wishes all four of you well in your continued steps in your football careers.
