First Team Manager

As has already been announced via the forum on this website we can now confirm the appointment of Neil Griffiths as First Team Manager at Buckingham Town Football Club.

Neil joins us with a good track record in the UCL over the past couple of seasons taking local rivals Olney Town FC from a bottom 3 club to a top 4 finish in his first season in charge and his team have proven to be a thorn in our side during his time there, we haven't managed to beat them in the last 5 attempts.  Neil is a tireless worker and is constantly looking to improve both himself, the club he works for and the team.

Neil will be joined by his Assistant Manager from Olney Town Gary Thurston, Gary played for Newport Pagnell Town FC as a youngster as well as a 3 year stint at Long Buckby.  Gary has coached at the MK Dons Academy and has played and coached in America.

It is officially their first day in charge and Neil will be taking the team for Wednesdays away trip to Wootton Blue Cross.

Neil is already working hard on communicating his ideas to the existing squad and is keen to give all players a chance to be a part of his plans but he is also aware of the need to strengthen an often depleted squad and add some good quality players.

There is a very good piece on Sports Shots (Click the link at the bottom of the page to view) about Neil's history and achievements in football and what his plans are for Buckingham Town FC.

We are delighted to have been able to appoint Neil Griffiths as First Team Manager and 2013 promises to be an exciting time.
