Hardwicke Resign After One Season - 10th August
Following their second successive Championship winning season Hardwicke AFC announced on Thursday night that they would not be able to continue in the FTL Futbol Hellenic League Division One West.
Since manager Warren Evans stepped down due to work commitments the club has been rocked by players deciding to play for other clubs and with less than half of last years squad available for last week’s 2 - 1 defeat against Northern Senior side Longlevens and Saturdays postponement of an arranged match at Pegasus through lack of players this has finally convinced the committee that it was impossible to continue at this level of football
Chairman Mathew Griffiths discussed the matter with League General Manager Brian King and verbally advised the decision to withdraw the first team from the Hellenic League Division One West on Thursday. This, of course, is subject to formal notification from the club which at time of issuing this statement has not been received in the League Office. This makes the situation more difficult in the knowledge that no contact has been made with Hardwicke’s fixtured opponents for Tuesday evening, Wootton Bassett Town, who have already incurred costs for the potential fixture.
