Club statement:
"As part of a restructure process within the football department the decision has been taken to withdraw the club’s teams from both the Thurlow Nunn Football League (step 6) and the Thurlow Nunn Youth League competitions with immediate effect.
The football club formally informed the Thurlow Nunn League of it’s decision to withdraw it’s teams from both of their competitions by e-mail late on Monday evening, with the club receiving formal acknowledgement by return e-mail from the league late Tuesday afternoon.
The decision has not been taken lightly, with the lack of a venue to both play and train for matches being a major stumbling block. Another reason is the fact that most of the players for both teams either are or will be enrolled in the club’s highly successful Academy partnership with KES which will see an Under 19’s team competing in the National League’s Under 19 Alliance competition, meaning we wouldn’t have the resources to compete in all competitions in a way which would effectively benefit all players. The Academy side will represent the club in next season’s FA Youth Cup competition.
The club will ,of course, do all they can within their powers to assist the small number of players who are left without a club following the decision made."
