The club have agreed to part ways with manager Ben Bukowski and coach John Burke.

Ben joined the club last January, inheriting an extremely tough task and battled bravely against the drop, unfortunately unsuccessfully.

Following an inconsistent season so far, the club is still deep in the relegation battle. Despite two recent wins, a tally of 11 points from 10 games since Christmas has led the board of directors to conclude that a change of management is required to give us the best chance of maintaining our Step 4 status over the next eight weeks.

We'd like to place on record our thanks to Ben and John for their tireless efforts for the club, and they remain welcome anytime at SJP. They also leave with our best wishes for the future.

We expect to make an announcement regarding Ben's successor later this week.
