Ashley Bosah/Andy Hunt

Feb - May 2023

The outstanding under 23s coaching team of Ashley and Cornelius stepped up to senior football. A stuttering start showed signs of improvement before the Covid interruption - culminating in victory in a much depleted London Senior Cup competition.

When normality returned things started to go seriously downhill. Player turnover was high  and fans struggled to understand team selection and tactics.  The managers were shadowed for the season by a Sky documentary crew, the results of which suggested that the first team had become little more than a showcase for academy talent - few would argue!

As the team plummeted down the table Cornelius was sacrificed, but to no avail. However, as in 1984, Staines Towns misfortune helped save us from the drop.

Ashley was backed to continue into 22-23, but things only got worse. Even the sides loyal fan base could take no more and deserted in droves.

 With relegation almost guaranteed the club raced into action and appointed a new joint manager on the recommendation of coaching guru Paul Dale.  Facing impossible odds Andy Hunts less than stellar management CV never looked like improving and relegation to the ranks of Junior football for the first time was duly confirmed well before the end of the campaign.

Paul Dale departed to be replaced by u23s coach and Academy chief Ashley Bosah. However, In the end relegation was almost a blessing!
