After reaching our highest ever league finish with our previous manager, Sam Vickers, circumstances meant that he had to part ways with the club. Scott Hoath and Josh Waters, who joined the club as coaches under Sam after seeing success at Kelma and Vauxhalls Reserves, took over the reigns ahead of the 26/27 season. They prepared to take on the new challenge of the North West Cheshire Football League First Division North after Ashville made the lateral move at the end of the previous season. Scott and Josh brought in new members to the backroom team, including Goalkeeper Coach, Dan Wiffen and Physio, Jameson Hogg.
