As we approach the new season, we're pleased to confirm the full management line-up for our men's section across both Saturday and Sunday football. With seven teams competing across the Thames Valley Premier League (TVPL) and Reading & District Sunday League (RDSL), this season promises to be another exciting chapter for the club.
The Saturday set-up remains largely unchanged from last season, with just one change as Tim Spray joins the Saturday A's coaching team, replacing Daniel Ward who has stepped down over the summer.
The Saturday First Team will once again compete in TVPL Premier Division, following a strong fourth place finish last season. The Reserves will play in the newly formed TVPL Division One Reserves, with the A's remaining in Division 3.
On Sundays there are a few changes across the teams. Luke Skeels joins the Sunday Reserves as assistant, replacing James Randall. Spencer Thomas moves into the Sunday A Team manager role, taking over from Ben Corbett and Matt Haines who have both stepped down. The B Team also has a new look with Charlie Webb joining as assistant, replacing Terry Osgood.
The Sunday Firsts remain in RDSL Premier Division, after narrowly missing out on the title last season. The Reserves remain in Division 1, with the A and B Teams in Divisions 3 and 5 respectively.
We would like to thank all outgoing coaches for their contributions and we wish all teams the best for the season ahead.
