Nix and Monk Leave Launton - 22nd December

Following the shock resignation of the first team management duo of Eddie Nix, with his assistant Harry Monk, Launton Sports are once again looking for a new manager.

Eddie and Harry took on the unenviable task following the Division One East clubs' disastrous start to the current season, despite continuing poor results the team definitely looked to be on the verge of at last turning the corner.

Regretfully the lack of commitment of certain players did not mirror the 100% desire and commitment of the managers.

Both Eddie & Harry will be greatly missed. For the interim the task has been undertaken by club captain, James Lisseter and reserve team managers Tony Luckett and Marcus Carberry.

The club despite a crippling injury list will be looking forward to a major improvement in the coming weeks. Applications are invited for the managerial vacancy. Interested candidates please contact club secretary:
