New management team take over at Crowland Town under-15s as long-serving Jay steps aside

After hanging up his boots following 30 years of playing and coaching, Crowland Town under-15s manager Jay Vernalls has handed over the reins at his league winning side.

Vernalls will be moving to the side lines to watch the progress of the team as new boss Charlie Head takes up the role to kick start the new season.

Long-term assistant manager Gareth Purdy has also stepped away to welcome new number two Gavin Baxter to the team.

And, in another new signing for 2022/23, Peterborough-based Hughes Health Hub have agreed to sponsor the team.

New boss Head said: “Jay and Gareth have done an amazing job with this team, which has enjoyed some great success – particularly at the end of last season.

“They are a great bunch of mature and hardworking lads, and I am really looking forward to coaching them in Division Two – playing 11-a-side and working with a technically higher-level group of players.”
