CLUB HISTORY 1886 - PRESENT 3 of 3

3. Club History (pg3)


The homecoming of Abbott after his year long stint at St Neots and Rovers fortunes soon turned around, losing only one game in nine before the season was brought to an abrupt end by the outbreak of Coronavirus when we were lying in 14th position. There wasn’t much of a Season 2020/21 to talk off due to the Thurlow Nunn League curtailing the season due to the outbreak of Covid-19 and its’ restrictions. Marc would stay with the club until mid-October Season 2021/22. The home fixture against Wroxham would be his last.

Liam Aves would take the helm with first fixture in charge of our visitors from Ely City, bringing the club a much-needed point from an exciting 3-3 draw. It was a lengthy, hard-fought season for the team to avoid relegation, and it was only the penultimate home game to Melford where we won 2-1 sealed our survival in the Premier Division. The club was reluctant to accept Liam’s resignation at beginning of August 2022.

Peter Bett’s stepped in as a temporary measure, until the club was ready to announce the permanent appointment of Mark Benterman as Manager at the end of October 2022. New players have been introduced to the squad to help strengthen and improve results.
