COACH MOVES ON

Steps are now in hand for the appointment of a new Coach

LATE RUN BRINGS SAFETY
A draw followed by 3 wins from the last four matches of the season ensured that Borough will continue to ply their trade at Step 5 in the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands League as their last game of the season - a 1-0 home win against Cockfosters means that they have finished above them uin 118th position and also above Holmer Green and Kentish Town who are still contesting the wooden spoon - Town must avoid defeat against Kingsbury London Tigers in their final game if they are to avoid it.
TOM LOIZOU has today (24th March 2009) been installed as the Club’s new FIRST TEAM MANAGER following last weeks parting of the ways with Allan Fenn whose achievement in guiding the Club back to Premier Division status at the first attempt following relegation at the end of season 2006/07 while also winning the First Division knock-out Cup will ensure his time at the Club is remembered as a successful tenure.
Tom is a UEFA “A” Licence holder and brings to the Club a a wealth of experience gained over a long period in management mostly at a higher level. Following a spell as Youth and Reserve Team Manager at Leyton Orient he was Caretaker Manager of that League Club’s First Team for a while and Director of their Centre of Excellence before moving on to Crown & Manor to run their International Soccer Academy. Managerial spells at Cheshunt, Enfield, Leyton and finally a second spell at Cheshunt when they were a Level 3 Club followed.
Tom brings with him trusted lieutenants in Charlie Douse and Paul McGiven who will be Assistant Managers with Charlie also taking the role of First Team Scout and Paul that of First Team Coach.
The new Management will take charge of the team for the first time at this coming Thursday’s visit to Hertford Town and their first Home game will be two days later when Biggleswade United visit Coles Park.
